La Caña Navia 2012
Descripción
Un blanco con alma de tinto procedente del Valle del Salnés, concretamente de dos viñedos, uno de ellos (La Playa) prácticamente a orillas del mar. Recoge la tradición de la elaboración de vinos albariños previa a la incorporación del acero inoxidable, por ello son fermentados y envejecidos en grandes recipientes de madera sobre lías.

Opinión de los críticos
"The 2012 Navia is barrels fermented and aged in contact with the lees for 13 months in a similar fashion as the 2010 vintage form three hectares of vines on granite soils, fermented and aged in 500- and 600-liter oak barrels (25% new), as they want to work the lees and they believe the barrel is the best container to do this. There are no traces of oak here, fruit is at the forefront with aromas of yellow plums, ripe, with a slight tropical hint, developing some fresher fennel and aniseed aromas with time in the glass. The palate surprised me with its concentration and mineral, salty taste, flavors that make you salivate, good acidity that calls for food. It has the balance, stuffing and acidity to age well. Great Albariño! 6,450 bottles produced."
93/100. Muito bom, como que a provar que os Alvarinho galegos são de classe mundial!
