Aveleda Solos de Xisto

In a region where granite covers 90% of the surface, this range also explores the rare schist varieties that exist and how the different soils are reflected in the wines. Schist is a sedimentary rock created by increased pressure on sediments that end up fusing together. A rock that is easier to break down, where the plant's root surface is deeper and water retention is greater. The wines are more structured, with more unctuousness and volume in the mouth.
