Description

Lots of lime, citrus, sea stones and brine. The palate is fresh, incisive, saline and medium- to full-bodied. Full of energy, with a bright, tense finish. The grapes for this wine come from Meano, Sanxenxo and Ribadumia. This is one of the great entry-level wines of the region. It will surely evolve favorably. Drink now or hold. 94 Points - Jacobo García Andrade, James Suckling

 

One of those Albariños that I buy on a regular basis, this is a very smart wine that uses grapes from different sectors of the Salnés Valley. Fermented and aged in foudres and stainless steel, it's a textbook Rías Baixas white, with notes of citrus, beeswax and sourdough bread and a sappy, granitic finish. 93 Points - Tim Atkin MW
