Vinification

The grapes were all harvested at different points over the course of a month based on ripeness, cold macerated separately before separate fermentation, then blended, stabilized, and bottled

Occasional wine note

I love the salinity of Albariños and this one does not disappoint. What is striking is the citrus flavors and aromas that tend more toward orange. Great value Albariño from the area that arguably produces the best of these in the world.

What experts say about this wine

Wine Spectator

A linear white, with good drive and focus to flavors of Mandarin orange, wild strawberry, grated ginger and fresh tarragon. Though svelte in form, there's a light, pleasing plushness to texture, working well with the mouthwatering acidity and briny base note. Albariño, Caiño and Loureiro. Drink now through 2028.

James Suckling

Tangy and bright with lime citrus and seashells on the nose. Chalky and zesty palate with a medium body and a bone-dry and deliciously saline finish.
