The average age of the vineyards is around 20 years old and the vines are trained using the traditional trellises system. In accord with modernity and the thirst for originality which impregnates everything the bodega does, the cutting-edge techniques used in viticulture and the state-of-the-art technology used in winemaking are all aimed at enhancing the expression of the unique terroir. The most recent oenological inroads have formed an alliance with the tried and tested experience of the region’s viticulturists in order to explore the virtues of the raw material to the full. The whole process is based on the idea of maximum respect for the quality of the product, and on tending the land and environment using only environmentally friendly cultivation methods, while at the same time guaranteeing food safety and cost-effectiveness. Fertilisers, phytosanitary products and fossil fuels are only used when it is strictly necessary and when the appropriate technical justifications have been presented.

The rigorous quality controls employed by the bodega cover the whole process from the vineyard to bottling and storage. Harvesting is carried out by hand, in industry approved crates, once the continuous ripening controls have indicated that the grapes have reached their optimum maturity. The selection of grape clusters, which happens at the entrance to the bodega, is carried out with painstaking care in order to guarantee that the grapes reach the destemming and crushing processes in the best possible conditions, before starting the fermentation process in temperature controlled stainless-steel vats.

This is how ‘Paco & Lola’ was conceived, a young wine for young people, full of modernity yet with a touch of sophistication; a smooth Albariño with just a dash of acidity, which conquers everyone’s palate. ‘Paco & Lola’ was designed with a global and cosmopolitan market in mind, yet without losing sight of the lifestyles chosen by new consumers; open-minded individuals who crave new experiences. Its creators definite it as: “the most stylish, enjoyable white wine in Spain”.

Made from 100 per cent Albariño grapes, ‘Paco & Lola’ is bright straw-yellow in colour, elegant and fruity on the nose (grapefruit and green apples), with hints of aromatic herbs. Medium-bodied in the mouth, this wine is balanced with vivacious acidity and boasts fruity flavours as well as a long finish. And, just like any Albariño worth its weight, it is the perfect match for fish, rice, white meats and seafood.
