CVNE La Val Finca Arantei 2023 750ml
CVNE La Val Finca Arantei 2023 is a premium single-vineyard white wine made exclusively from 100% Albariño grapes grown at Finca Arantei in the Rías Baixas region of Galicia, Spain. The vineyard was planted in 1989 and is one of the older Albariño vineyards in the appellation, with deep alluvial soils formed by sediments deposited by the Miño River.
The wine is produced from carefully selected grapes that undergo cold skin maceration before gentle pressing and fermentation. It is aged for six months on fine lees, with 10% of the wine fermented in 600-litre French oak barrels, adding additional texture and subtle complexity while preserving the wine's fresh varietal character.
The result is an expressive and elegant Albariño with pronounced mineral character, fresh citrus and fruit flavours, herbal nuances and a creamy lees-derived texture. Its vibrant acidity and long finish make it particularly suited to seafood, fish, fresh cheeses and refined dining.
