The 2023 Orballo ( which means "light rain" in Galician) is a varietal Albariño from the vines in the Finca Vilachan in the subzone of O Rosal on schist soils, closer to the sea, with a more marked salinity and minerality. It fermented in two 5,000-liter stainless steel tanks where it was kept with the lees for six months, followed by six months in concrete eggs and a further six months in ceramic vessels. It has 12.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.35 and 7.5 grams of acidity. This is the wine that has a distinct and characterful profile, showing the particularities of the place; it has a more expressive and nuanced nose and a very sharp and focused palate with vibrant acidity and freshness. 9,850 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2024.
La Val, from Rías Baixas, was bought by CVNE from Rioja in March 2023. They bought the winery and its 44 hectares of vineyards in Salvaterra do Miño and also a 50-hectare plot that was planted 20 years ago on schist soils in the village of Vilachan in the O Rosal subzone of the appellation. 2023 was their first vintage. Production is 385,000 bottles - Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate, June 11, 2024.
