10-15-year-old Albarino vines planted to southeast facing parcels in the ‘Xabre’ soils of Condado de Tea in the southern end of Rias Baixas. Organically farmed, and the pergola trellising helps in avoiding mildew. Hand harvested, de-stemmed. Natural yeast fermentation in stainless steel after a brief cold soak, followed by 6 months aging in the tank before filtration and bottling. Fento Wines are made with organically farmed grapes from micro vineyards spotted throughout the Condado de Tea subzone of Rías Baixas. Prestigious winemaker Eulogio Pomares of Bodegas Zarate and his wife Rebeca Montero were both raised with vineyards for playgrounds and have spent their entire lives immersed in the industry of viticulture and winemaking. Their personal joint venture was created in August of 2012 and is a young, family business that makes wines that reflect the strength of the grapes and their nuances, but comes with a fresh focus and presentation, a personal enterprise that combines natural viticulture with new techniques.
