Vintage Notes
The 2021 vintage was influenced by early budding and high temperatures, followed by cold and rainy weather in April, causing an initial delay in the cycle. The generally fresh temperatures marked the development of the vineyard. Later, during blossoming, the rains with hailstones caused some damage to the vine shoots, which slightly affected some plots. From August onwards the warm weather without high temperatures marked the ripening phase, which was completed with difficulty due to the rains during harvest time. In short, the harvest was fresh and very Atlantic, the yield was average and the quality of the wines good. Fillaboa 2021 has achieved the desired levels of alcohol and acidity awarding fresh, long and balanced wines with very good structure on the palate.

Vintage Notes
2017 is characterized as being one of the driest vintages on record with the least amount of rainfall in the past 25 years. Harvest began on the 30th of August, 15 days earlier than normal, and the yield was much lower than in previous vintages. The Albariño clusters we harvested in 2017 were more concentrated and with less acidity, producing wines that are incredibly aromatic, unctuous and with phenomenal structure, making them great for cellaring, as well as excellent food wines.
