Valtea Albariño Cuveé Especial 2021

The Albariño Cuvée Especial retains the style of the area and the winemaker, but the slight differences in elaboration give it a more intense aromatic sensation and makes it slightly broader and fuller on the palate. It is straw yellow in color with golden sparkles. It has complex aromas of apricot, pear and pineapple combined with white flowers. It reminds us of a touch of toast, from its aging on its lees. It is full-bodied, creamy and powerful on the palate. It is a good companion to dishes with lobster or langoustines, paella, stuffed squid with ratatouille, scallops with butter sauce and firm white fish like monkfish or turbot.
These albariño vineyards are located in the valleys of the Miño River. Adegas Valtea is located in an area with a special microclimate that allows the grapes to reach the maturity necessary to produce excellent wines.For this Cuvée Especial, 14ha of vineyards were planted on a gently sloping hillside that faces south. A situation that makes it possible to obtain wines with aromas of ripe fruit and good acidity. On the banks of the Miño River lying north-south, the vineyards of Adegas Valtea develop on an irregular terrain with a slight slope formed by steps or balconies that hang over the Miño Basin. In the Valtea Selección Especial, the skins are soaked with the must before alcoholic fermentation. This wine is made with specially selected yeasts.
  • About Valtea

    Valtea is located near the Atlantic Ocean, about 30 kilometers from both Vigo and Ourense, the two major cities in this part of Galicia where the DO Rías Baixas is located. This is the Atlantic, cool, humid and mostly green part of Spain
    that produces perhaps the best white wines in the entire country. Knowing that the albariño grape is one of the most complex, perhaps the one that offers the best characteristics to produce high quality white wines.

    The grapes are harvested by hand and each bunch is chosen at the optimal time of ripening. Once at the winery, once the grapes are selected based on their quality and the vineyards they come from, they select the must in different qualities, separating the different types of must. Once approved, they intervene as little as possible in the fermentation process. As a result of all this, Valtea albariño is born, a very personal wine that expresses all the strength of the land it is rooted in.
