Notes from critics

We love the crispy freshness and salinity of Albariños, and this one does not disappoint in that department. But it brings so much more with fantastic minerality and a host of fruit from orange zest to pear and honey, all layered so brilliantly. What a treat!

The 2022 Cíes is a faithful reflection of the warmer year with rounder wines and more integrated acidity. It's tender and balanced, with a silky texture and a clean finish.
