Founded in 2000 by the Farina family, Attis have 12.3 acres of vineyards planted with Albarino vines ranging from 5 to 50 years. Robustiano Farina provides years of experience to support his sons Baldomero and Robustiano Jr. in their management of the vineyard, winery and business operations. In 2011, they invested in a new, modern winery and hired Jean-Francois Hebrard for technical advice and ecological cultivation in the vineyards. This came to fruition for the 2012 vintage, encompassing all aspect of winemaking; spontaneous fermentation, ageing on the lees and a reduction in their use of sulphur.
This incredible Albariño is clean yellow on appearance followed by wonderful aromas. It has complex notes of ripe apricot and peach, white flowers and a delicious buttery salinity which is perfectly balanced with fresh acidity. Crisp minerality and peppery notes on the finish. It is a powerful wine with great intensity and depth yet a delightful lingering elegance. The body is full and round with 6 months on lees including some batonnage giving a full and rich texture.
