J&O BOUTIQUE WINES
Description
La Caña Navia recovers the traditional methods of elaborating Albariño, before the incorporation of stainless steel tanks, when the wines were fermented and aged in large chestnut wood barrels on the lees. These were the wines that Jorge Ordóñez first discovered in Rias Baixas when he became the first person to export this variety. Aged on the lees for twelve months with biweekly battonage. Fermented in 500L & 600L puncheons and demi-muids.
