Vineyard
The basis for the elaboration of Davila M-100 is Albariño, Loureiro and Caíño Blanco grapes from O Rosal area. Vines are between 30 and 40 years old. There are different kinds of soils depending on the parcel – from alluvial deposit sand to metamorphic schist’s soils-. The production is limited to 8.000kg/ha for the Albariño, and to 6.000 kg/ha for Caiño Blanco and Loureiro thanks to the pruning. The space between vines is made of natural vegetative cover formed by indigenous species like ray-grass and white clover. Harvest takes place around mid/end of September.
Ellaboration
Selection of grape in the vineyards and handmade harvest made in 20kg cases of the three varieties separately. Then it is the cold maceration (10ºC) of the Albariño grape and fermentation in 2.500 liter French oak barrels. The wine is aged on its lees for three months, using batonnage technique. After that, Albariño is blended with Caiño Blanco and Loureiro grapes. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks for two more months. An only one and soft filtering takes place. Finally, it is bottled and rests for six months prior its distribution.
Tasting
Wine made in oak but with a huge respect of the varietal aromas, highlighting the ripen fruit accompanied by spicy aromas and dried fruit notes. In the mouth, it shows a remarkable mineral character. It is very expressive and deeply fat. It is a consistent white wine.
