Aforado

Daniel Alonso Gonzalez founded O Aforado in 1974 and the first commercial vintage was in 1989. Since Alonso Gonzalez’s death in 2001, his two sons have been running the estate, carrying on their father’s philosophy of concentrating on quality over quantity and making pure wines that show fruit and the mineral character of the Rias Biaxas region. O Aforado owns 19 acres of vineyard land located on the estate at 164 to 328 feet above sea level. The vineyards here are terraced into the sides of the River Miño. The topsoil is alluvial. No chemical products are used. This cuvee is a blend of mostly Albariño, with a little bit of Caiño Blanco (Trincadeira), Loureira (Marques). –
