Zárate Tras da Viña White wine

Zárate Tras da Viña 2022 is a stunning white wine crafted from the Albariño grape variety, showcasing the exceptional terroir of Rías Baixas. This exquisite wine originates from a south-facing vineyard of just 0.6 hectares, meticulously replanted in 1965 using cuttings from the prestigious El Palomar estate. The Pago Tras da Viña benefits from deep, organic-rich soils that contribute to its elevated yield and outstanding quality.

Harvesting is carried out by hand, ensuring only the best grapes are selected from the vineyard. The must undergoes spontaneous fermentation in a stainless steel tank, after which it is racked away from its coarse lees and aged on fine lees for 24 months without batonnage. Importantly, this wine does not undergo malolactic fermentation, allowing it to develop its full potential during bottle aging. With malic acid levels that support maturation, Zárate Tras da Viña is designed to express its qualities beautifully over a span of up to five years in the bottle.

Visually, it presents a bright, clean golden-yellow hue that captivates the eye. The aroma is a vibrant reflection of its granite soils, offering a minerality that is both expressive and complex, with delightful floral and white fruit notes. On the palate, the minerality reemerges, complemented by a refreshing elegance. This Albariño boasts excellent acidity and features citrus and saline hints, making it a truly delightful experience.

Perfectly suited for aperitifs, this wine pairs excellently with seafood dishes such as grilled white fish, rice with fish, or traditional bouillabaisse. Zárate Tras da Viña 2022 is not just a wine; it’s a journey through the unique landscape of Rías Baixas, inviting you to savor its distinctive character and enjoy an authentic taste of Spain.
