Bodegas Albamar, 'Albamar', Albarino

Country: Spain Region: Rias Baixas

Varietal: Albarino

Vintage: 2023 Colour: White Style: Dry

Producer: Bodegas Albamar

Description:

Xurxo Alba’s family has been farming and making Albariño in Rïas Baixas O Salnés region, near the Atlantic Ocean, for generations (Alba+mar). It wasn’t until Xurxo finished his oenology studies that the Alba family started bottling and commercializing their wines in 2006. The Alba family owns 2.5 hectares, and sources approximately 10 hectares throughout the region.

Albamar is one of only a handful (2%!) of domains in the region using natural yeasts for their fermentation, which has a dramatic impact on both the aromatics and flavour of Albariño, giving the wines much more depth, complexity and interest.

This takes Albariño to the next level and proves it can be a serious wine rather than just the "holiday favourite".

Tasting Note:
This is a wonderful mineral driven Albarino with incredible acidity and beautiful citrus fruit. Serious Albarino.
