Provoleta The lively acidity cuts through the richness of the melted cheese very well.
Burrata: The fruity and slightly saline expression will complement both the creaminess of the burrata and the tomato and pesto.
Chicken SaladRefreshing pairing that harmonizes well with the mix of textures and flavors in the salad.
Octopus leg The minerality of Route 49 harmonizes perfectly with the marine character of the octopus.
Salmon: The acidity of Albariño provides a very suitable base for cleansing the palate between bites of fish.
Ravioli Cod The cod ravioli has a smooth, salty, and delicately fishy filling. Route 49, with its high fresh acidity and citrus and floral aromas, is perfect for cutting through the richness and highlighting the flavor of the cod without overpowering it. Furthermore, the minerality and its light-to-moderate structure balance the texture of the ravioli and sauce, providing a fresh sensation in the mouth.
Route 49 is the purest expression of Galicia's Albariño, in the heart of Rías Baixas.
From vineyards located in the Salnés Valley, next to the Atlantic Ocean, this wine captures all the freshness, salinity, and character of the coast in every glass. The marine influence, along with the granite and sand soils, provides a lively acidity, a pronounced minerality, and a very elegant aromatic expression.
Ruta 49 is the ideal companion for those seeking a white wine with character, capable of transporting the Galician landscape directly to your glass.
Perfect as an appetizer and to accompany more delicate yet characterful cuisine.
The Harvest, is performed as manual for small capacity boxes (15-20Kg) to transport the grapes in perfect condition to the winery. This prevents the fruit from being crushed, oxidizing, or starting to ferment before it's desired.
The alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, a temperature-controlled (approx. 15-18°C). This helps slow down the process, thus preserving both the varietal aromas and the natural acidity of the grape.
