In 1850, they planted what is now Rias Baixas’ oldest documented pre-\u003cem\u003ephyloxera\u003c\/em\u003e Albariño vineyard called \u003cem\u003eEl Palomar\u003c\/em\u003e, which still produces wine to this day.  Today, the winery is run by 7th generation, Eulogio Pomares, who started in 1999.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Zarate estate encompasses a total of 9.6 Ha of vines, over 12 different parcels. It is located in the \u003cem\u003eVal de Salnés\u003c\/em\u003e subzone which is prized for its cool climate and close proximity to the sea, which Pomares feels gives the wines a \u003cem\u003esalty\u003c\/em\u003e character. The soils here are what is called \u003cem\u003eXabre\u003c\/em\u003e, or weathered granite, which also helps to accentuate the intense minerality of the wines. The vines are farmed organically with many biodynamic techniques employed as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Zarate range begins with his basic Albariño which is made from vines averaging around 40 years. It is aged in tank for 6 months on its fine lees before bottling with around 15-30% of the wine completing malolactic fermentation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zarate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45729716797509,"sku":null,"price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/communitywineandspirits.com\/products\/zarate-rias-baixas-albarino-2025","provider":"Community Wine and Spirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
