99 of wine made in Rios by just is white And ninety percent of that is Albarino So yeah it’s a big deal here it’s a Grape that’s uniquely adapted to this Region not just any grape can thrive in These sorts of rainy Seaside conditions It’d be like someone from Arizona Transplanted to Seattle they prefer Drier weather wet conditions lead to Mold and rot in The Vines and grapes but For a few reasons Albarino does great Here despite the rain the first reason Is that it’s negative here to Reyes by Just so it has naturally evolved over Time to withstand these conditions the Second reason is the well-draining Granite and schist soils that prevent The water from rotting The Roots Third ocean breezes and lots of sunshine Between rains that help keep the vines Dry and fourth you’re looking at it These wire trellises are called Paris And they help keep the grapes off the Ground and in the breeze so they can Stay nice and cool [Music]
