Taste: A bright, vibrant, and charming Albariño from Rías Baixas. The wine is defined by distinct notes of ripe peach, apricot, and lemon zest; the fruit is followed by layers of crunchy white flower petals, parmesan cheese, and sea salt. The wine is dry, medium-bodied, with elevated acid and slight phenolic bitterness.

Attis Bodegas y Viñedos is located in the center of Val do Salnés, a small village located on the hillside of Mount Penaguda.

The family-run winery owns and cultivates 5 hectares of vines divided into small plots located between 100 and 400 meters of altitude.

Lias Finas is produced from a selection of 50-year-old vineyards all facing and heavily influenced by the Atlantic Ocean.  The vines are planted to soils comprising granitic entisols (with strong sand and clay characteristics). Carefully selected grapes are hand-harvested and are brought to the winery for destemming. The must is then given extended time to settle (‘debourbage’); reducing the need to extensively fine and filter before bottling.

Alcoholic fermentation is carried out under controlled temperatures of 12-15ºC. The wine is then left to age on lees in stainless steel tanks and oak vats for a period of 6 months where battonage (lees stirring) is implemented. The wine undergoes very limited fining and filtration prior to bottling.
 

Cellaring Potential:    Enjoy now or age 4+ years.


Food Matching:    Enjoy with scallops on the half shell, blistered Padrón peppers (finished with sea salt), and grilled razor clams.
