Eido da Salgosa Rosal is a white wine made in the DO Rías Baixas area, subzone O’Rosal, with Albariño, Loureira, Cagarrucho, Treixadura, and Caño by the Cazapitas winery.
O Rosal is a valley located at the end of the Miño river, extending beyond the administrative limits of the municipality that bears its name. This valley is a very special region within the Rías Baixas wine region. While Albariño is the most prominent grape variety in the entire Rías Baixas region, in the Rosal region, Albariño is always combined with other varieties, making this white wine one of the most outstanding examples of this traditional blend.
In the case of Eido da Salgosa Rosal, we find a blend composed of 70% Albariño, 15% Loureira, 5% Cagarrucho, 5% Treixadura, and 5% Caíño. During the production process, the grapes are taken to the winery and pressed in a pneumatic press without destemming. The must is cooled for 24 hours and then racked. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature. The wine spends 4 months in contact with fine lees and then rests for another 4 months on the lees before undergoing a gentle filtration.
