Press review:
The Wine Advocate: “The characterful 2022 Vimbio, a blend of 85% Albariño, 12% Caíño Blanco and 3% Loureiro, is reminiscent of a classical O Rosal white blend, produced in a simple and straightforward way, with good ripeness and moderate alcohol (12%), keeping very good freshness and acidity, tasty flavours and an almost salty finish. It fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in stainless steel for 10 months, the first six of which with periodic batonnage. The wine has restraint and balance, and it's elegant and characterful. Drink now-2038.” 92 points
