FROM SKURNIK WINES:

THE WINE: 100% Albariño. Sourced from a selection of the oldest (typically the most sea-adjacent) vines of the pre-phylloxera finca del atelier in Dena on granitic sand. Whole-cluster pressed and fermented spontaneously in thoroughly seasoned French oak.

THE PRODUCER: Atalier is the exciting new Rías Baixas Albariño project from the redoubtable Raúl Pérez, produced in conjunction with his friend and frequent collaborator Rodri Méndez of the Forjas del Salnés estate in the Val do Salnés subzone.
