One of Rías Baixas’ preeminent producers, Manuel Moldes crafts finely tuned, deeply technical wines. His Albariños highlight local schist and granite sites close to the Atlantic in the Rías Baixas subzone, Val do Salnés, to illuminate the differences between these rock types in the final products. The Albariños ferment and age in a combination of steel and old French oak barrels. The red winemaking follows the simplicity in the cellar of Albariños, though they involve the art of blending grape varieties from numerous terroirs. Reds often have some stem inclusion and are fermented and aged in a combination of steel and older oak barrels.
Albariño “As Dunas” comes from a south/southwest facing gentle slope at 50m planted in the 1940s and 1990s on schist sand.
