Tasting Notes
Fruit for ‘Sentidiño’ is sourced from three subzones. The different subzones, with an altitude range of 20-200 metres above sea level, produce wines of subtle diversity and balance, enabling Carlos to make a stylistically consistent blend. Val do Salnés, situated directly on the coast, produces the most aromatic Albariños due to cooler night temperatures and Atlantic breezes. Further inland, sites in Condado do Tea experience higher ripening temperatures, around 30-34°C, and produce lower aromatic profiles, but fuller-bodied wines. In Ribeira do Ulla, the coolest and driest subzone, the wines display greater structure and acidity. The vines are guyot trained with a vine density of 1,000-1,5000 plants per hectare to ensure good air circulation and sun exposure for even, healthy ripening. Their vineyards have been managed sustainably for over 30 years. This wine is youthful and vibrantly aromatic, combining tangerine, jasmine and grassy aromas on the nose. The palate displays zesty acidity with juicy grapefruit and white peach notes, leading to a refreshing finish. ‘Sentidiño’ is a Galician word meaning common sense. It is used by local fisherman who have the common sense not to take the wild Atlantic waters for granted.
