Lagar de Costa is a small family run winery that is located in the prestigious region of Val de Salnes. The winery is located 100s of meters from the shores of the Ria de Arousa. They farm traditionally using the local version of the pergola called Parrales. The winery is currently run by the family's 4th generation, and they are driven to showcase not only the inherent quality of their local variety, but to also show off it versatility as well. They do this by using different styles of winemaking as well as highlighting the potential of single parcels. A winery to keep your eyes on. There is a tradition of aging Albariño in Rias Baixas. The additional time spent in aging vessels and in bottles are believed to allow the fruit tones of the varietal to become more expressive. At Lagar de Costa this is their bottling that follows that tradition and adds their own twist. The twist, the wine does not undergo Malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged for 1 year in a 2500L French oak foudre before going into bottle, and this is their current release; the 2021. Time, and not just what was spent in oak has given this wine power, depth and intensity. It is penetrating and fresh, with that classical saline minerality driving through the developed stone and muted tropical fruit aromas and flavors.
