Description
Our flafship Brand bears the name of our first vineyard located on a hillside between Cambados and Ribadumia in a hamlet called Fornos. Our forebears called this dry and stony area “Castel” which proved optimal for growing Albariño. The name “Castel de Fornos” was penned in tribute to these early beginnings. Castel de Fornos is a high intensity wine with a torrent of complex aromas. First come the floral hints (gardenia, rose, orange blossom), then the fruit (apricot, orange peel, honey-like) with a background of herbs (laurel, anise, mint). The bouquet is that of a wonderful English garden.
