acquires a singular character.

Pedralonga WineryCollection of winemakers. The Alfonso family has been making wine

trough out generations in Val do Umia, preserving writings from the early

xx century in where they already mention the harvests, the crops and the

wine making trough the intensive and careful work of the vineyards. The

present winery was founded in 1997, the work is know professional but

the philosophy remains the same of our ancestors. The work is still done

with traditional methods and biodynamic technics that respect the moon

periods allowing to obtain wine must that need no chemical correction

neither filtering.

The importance of the ocean. The Pedralonga vineyards are deeply

influenced by the atlantic climate, that provides good temperatures and

long rain periods during large part of the year perfectly suited for the

Alvariño grapes. The vineyards root on loam soil at the bottom of mount

Xiabre, high terrains oriented from north to south allowing a perfect

insolation that helps growth and health.

Mineral expresion. At Pedralonga we make wines with personality.

Singular Albariños and red wines that stand out for their balanced acidity

and mineral taste from the granite soils of our terroir.

Atlantic Character

Responsible ViticultureCommitment. We gather the values of manual grape harvest, absence

of pesticides and mineral fertilization with careful farming from the xxi

century cellars. Our wines nurture the unique personality of small wine

producers which control each and every production detail. A philosophy

that goes for quality and the creation of non standard wine musts.

Respect for the vineyard. The result is our wines, made with

biodynamic technics, respectful with the environment where taste and

aroma come directly from the soils quality, the grapes nurturing and wise

wine making.

Following the moon. During the waning crescent moon phase the

vineyard enters in its sleeping stage. This is the moment to sanitate and

prune the non productive parts. It is also time to decant only in clear days

with out mist or rain that can influence the wines stability. Reaching the

waxing crescent phase the vineyard expands and grows. At this point the

production pruning gives the branches the energy need for a good fruit.

Atlantic Character

Albariño PedralongaHallmark. The winery’s true standard. Pure distilled granite, bathed by

the atlantic rain and the characteristic sun of a south facing vineyard,

tuned by it’s malolactic fermentation.

Giving it time. At Pedralonga we give time to wine. Following the

grape harvest we let it settle for months in the cellar waiting until July for

bottling, when its perfectly stable. After bottled the wine evolves so well

that stays alive for years.

Genuine Albariño. The malolactic maceration on lees, without yeast,

results in a flawless Albariño which expresses the grape’s full personality.

Intense yellow. Citric nuances with

touches of grapefruit, apple with a

lactic trace. Unctuous, bold with a

pleasant mineral finish.

Atlantic Character

Albariño BarricaFruited and spiced. Not always wood and fruit work well in a white

wine, but when they do, the oak strengths the grapes primary aromas

with toasted and spiced nuances. This happens with this Albariño, where

the cask blends with the wine without concealing it’s personality.

Longevity. A pearl that emerged from six lost hectares in a maze of

small vineyards. A full and complex white wine that goes with the best

gastronomy, able to evolve bottled and to stay alive for several years.

Oak in a right measure. The french oak Allier enriches the wine’s

aromatic and gustatory power giving it a longer life once bottled. The

Allier oak has a very fine grain that favours very persistent aftertaste.

Intense yellow with green glitters.

Mature fruit, mineral characteristics

from the “batonnage” lees along with

an acid touch that helps flavouring and

makes it persistent.

Albariño VendettaLimited edition. The few bottles produced, reflect the exclusivity of

this wine that dares to explore the gustatory and aromatic limits of an

Albariño without resorting to chemical corrections.

The reinvented Albariño. The challenge was to create something

new with the same raw material and winery work process. From this

was born an exclusive product, a singular Albariño different from all

others.

Tree grape types in one cluster. What happens when you put

together a wine producer, a chef and a designer in the creation of a

wine? Happens that this creative tandem of tree end up inventing a

very non-orthodox Alvariño with a gasp of excellency, where its unusual

labelling already unveils part of its personality.

Golden yellow, a citric bouquet,

“confited” fruit and fennel. Fat with a

full body and excellent amplitude and

persistence.

Tinto DoUmiaUnveiling Rías Baixas. The search for a blend worthy of the

Designation of Origin has resulted in the creation of a fresh taste wine,

fruited and with character. An easy wine that pleases both amateur and

professional wine tasters.

The red grape makes its way in. Red wines are one percent of

all Rias Baixas production. “DoUmia” is the ambassador that opens de

doors to quality red wine in the Albariño universe.

In front with Mencía. The nobility of red grapes, Caiño and

Espadeiro, provides wine with a singular floral and acid characteristic.

The Mencía grapes goes along perfectly with the ones mentioned

before and adds the structure that finishes the wine.

Translucent red with orange trimmed

lights. Floral aroma with nuances of

fresh fruit with a smoked taste finish.

Fresh and fruited palate with a good

retronasal ending.

Press cutouts“If Albariño is done right, as with this wine, it reminds me of

a blend of the minerality of Riesling and the aromatics of

Sauvignon Blanc. Oh, and this wine is completely dry, crisp

and clean. See what the buzz on Albariño is about.”

Old Rare Wine. August 2010

-----------------------------

“The Albariños from Pedralonga are equally dramatic,

if showing more mineral and saline depth. Galicia is

the next Loire.”

San Francisco Chronicle, Food. June 2010

-----------------------------

“As if it was a visual poem, with the stone we get an effective

visual sequence which in turn celebrates the properties and

the character of this wine.”

ON Diseño. July 2009

-----------------------------

“As if the sweet fruit gave way to fresh sea breeze and

then a spring of petals.”

O Viticólogo des Bagos. July 2009

“Someone said Albariño and we looked as if it were

impossible. Yes, an Albariño without added yeast, this is

Albariño in its purest form.”

MásGastronomía. May 2009

-----------------------------

“It shows a vegetable nuance to the nose, notes of fresh hay

and woods on a mature fruit background.”

Vinos de España. No 72. August 2008

-----------------------------

“Its bouquet announces concentration and maturity,

recalls mango, quince and even flint.”

MiVino. August 2008

-----------------------------

“Wide taste and persistent with sweet nuances,

smoked and fruited character, difficult to discover.”

Diario Vasco. Suplemento. April 2008
