O Gran Meín Castes Brancas 2022

2022 / 94 puntos

The 2022 O Gran Mein comes from a very dry and warm year of healthy grapes and more Mediterranean wines, and it was sourced from a specific historical plot from Mein planted with Treixadura, Godello, Albariño, Torrontés, Loureira, Caíño Blanco and Lado grapes. The vines are worked organically but are not certified. The whole bunches were pressed, and the must fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel, concrete, clay and glass; it aged in the fermentation vessels and was kept in bottle for one year. It has herbal notes, hints of flowers and pollen, a moderate 12.6% alcohol, a pH of 3.37 and 5.66 grams of acidity. It's medium-bodied, precise and clean, with a chalky texture and a dry finish. 14,857 bottles and some larger formats produced. It was bottled in June 2023.
