This wine is made from a unique and singular vineyard, as is our A Malosa estate, a piece of 21 hectares planted 9 years ago, located in Éntoma, in the Don Fiz area, in the center of "val do Galir".

Harvest data
The 2023 harvest was the earliest to date at Virgen del Galir, starting in the last week of August in the highest areas of A Malosa in Val do Galir. The year has been rather cool, in general, although in the second half of August temperatures soared excessively causing an early harvest due to the rapid evolution of alcoholic maturation. It has been a healthy vintage, with good yields and fresh with a marked Atlantic style.
Tasting notes
Bright greenish yellow color. Delicate, Atlantic and mineral nose with hints of flowers, undergrowth and citrus.
In the mouth it is vibrant, persistent, silky, well-structured and ample due to the work on the lees. Ideal pairing with fish, seafood, vegetables, white meats and stews.
Serving temperature 10ºC.
