Bouza do Rei Albarino Rias Baixas
Created by a winery that’s a pioneer in making Albariño wines, Bouza do Rei is entirely made from grapes grown in some of the best vineyards in the heart of the Salnés Valley, on small hills at 100 metres above sea level. A balanced and varietal Albariño, with a very intense bouquet, characterised by aromas of white fruit and fresh blossoms. Balanced and smooth; with a long and elegant dry finish.
Bouza do Rei Albarino Rias Baixas: the Producer
Bouza do Rei is situated in Ribadumia in the heart of the Salnés valley, between the estuaries of Arousa and Pontevedra, the largest coastal plain in Galicia. It is one of the most fertile areas of land, and is considered to be the historic Albariño sub-region presenting the flattest orography. In fact, the vines are normally grown on small hills which rarely rise to more than 100 metres above sea level. The terrains of the Rías Baixas wines are under the influence of the Atlantic climate: in autumn and winter they frequently receive warm fronts from the tropics, which usually result in heavy rains, with yearly averages of around 1300 mm and mild temperatures. Spring comes early and is free from frost. The summers are dry, though they tend to be mild due to the proximity of the sea and the protective influence of surrounding mountains. Generally speaking, the soil has a high level of granite and is relatively sandy, rich in organic material, slightly acidic, permeable and deep (except on the hills), thus favouring the cultivation of grapes with a pleasant flavour.
