X is for "xisto," the Galician spelling of schist, the dominant soil in the vineyards used for the 2018 X, a rare bottling, as it's mostly Albari?o (it's mentioned on the front label as a varietal wine, even if it has some 5% Treixadura). It has an expressive nose that goes beyond the pure varietal expression, and the palate reveals great elegance, intense and powerful, with developed flavors (the wine is close to 14% alcohol). They like ripe and flavorful fruit here but not over-ripeness. This comes from vines planted in 2001, and the wine is produced in a traditional way, bottled unoaked after time in contact with the lees. 6,000 bottles were filled in May 2019.
