Overview

Sal da Terra is comprised of wine from two of Eulogio’s own parcels. The first, Francón, is immediately adjacent to the Ría de Arousa which gives it direct Atlantic influence. The soils are sandy granite and red clay with 35-year-old vines trained on pergolas. This parcel is aged in concrete. The second site is named Carballoso which is located further inland at an elevation of 250m. The soils here are granitic and ferrous sands. Carballoso is aged in a chestnut foudre.
