Origin
Produced in the Rías Baixas region of Galicia, Spain, Quinta do Ameal is renowned for its Albariño wines. This keg format is designed for on-premise establishments seeking fresh, high-quality white wine served by the glass.
Variety
The wine is made predominantly from the Albariño grape variety, known locally as "Bico Amarelo," which translates to "Yellow Beak," a traditional name for this grape in the region.
Production
The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo controlled fermentation at low temperatures to preserve the fresh and aromatic profile. The wine is aged briefly on fine lees to enhance texture and complexity before bottling or kegging. The keg packaging ensures optimal freshness and ease of service.
