"There is something slightly blurry in the 2023 Aliaxe. It doesn't have the clarity, purity and precision of the 2022 I tasted next to it. It was a year with average temperatures and rain. The wine was produced with 60% Caíño and 20% each Espadeiro and Loureiro Tinto, fermented in open-top vats with 30 days of maceration and matured in neutral 220- and 300-liter French oak barrels for 16 months. It has notable acidity (7.1 grams) and flavors of acid berries. 1,800 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2025."
