Santiago then picked up\u003cbr\u003ethe baton and continued the pioneering spirit of his grandfather\u003cbr\u003eby installing the first ever stainless-steel tanks in Rías Baixas. Such\u003cbr\u003ewas his contribution to the development of modern winemaking in\u003cbr\u003ethe region that a street in San Miguel de Tabagón bears his name.\u003cbr\u003eThe new winery, built in 2007, is fully equipped with state-of-the art\u003cbr\u003ewinemaking technology and head winemaker Luisa Freire, an\u003cbr\u003eexpert in aromatic varieties, makes clean and expressive white\u003cbr\u003ewines that reflect the unique sense of place of O Rosal.\u003cbr\u003eVINEYARDS\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eO Rosal is the most southerly sub-region of the Rías Baixas, situated\u003cbr\u003eon the north bank of the river Miño, which marks the border with\u003cbr\u003ePortugal's Vinho Verde. Here the vineyards benefit from cooling\u003cbr\u003eAtlantic breezes and the moderating influence and increased\u003cbr\u003eairflow from the river. The sustainably-farmed Santiago Ruiz\u003cbr\u003evineyards in Tomiño cover 38 hectares and are planted with\u003cbr\u003eAlbariño, Loureiro, Caíño Blanco, Treixadura and Godello.\u003cbr\u003eLoureiro, a variety prized for its aromatic flavour profile, performs\u003cbr\u003eparticularly well here and wines labelled ‘O Rosal’ must include\u003cbr\u003ethis grape in the blend, something which distinguishes them from\u003cbr\u003ethe majority of Rías Baixas wines which are 100% Albariño. Soils in O\u003cbr\u003eRosal are predominantly sandy over a granite bedrock, this\u003cbr\u003etranslates into wines with an aromatic richness combined with a\u003cbr\u003echaracteristic wet stone minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Santiago Ruiz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55284718731649,"sku":"liberty","price":115.77,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0301\/9712\/1068\/files\/6DB94A8B-6818-4578-BEAA-B61A7A57294A.jpg?v=1769526579","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicwines.co.uk\/products\/santiago-ruiz-o-rosal-rias-baixas-albarino-6-bottle-case-75cl","provider":"Iconic Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
