Staff Pick Notes

This Albariño is a rare, site-driven expression of Rías Baixas, from the oldest parcel on the estate in Sisan (Ribadumia). Its vines, rooted in granite and silt soils, give the wine precise, luminous minerality. Fermented and aged 12 months on fine lees in 1500L oak foudre, it balances structure and finesse. This is not a typical Albariño: it offers depth, layering, and complexity that unfolds in the glass. The nose shows saline and floral notes with white stone fruit and delicate herbs. On the palate, it is fuller and more enveloping than the traditional style, yet retains vibrant freshness and precise structure, finishing long and savory. A higher-end bottle, but the cost is fully justified by its depth, precision, and unique character of this old-vine parcel—a truly elegant and distinctive Albariño.

Rías Baixas

Located on the Northeast coast of Spain, just north of the Portuguese border, Rías Baixas is home to the famed white grape varietal Albariño. These deliciously refreshing whites typically offer aromas of peach, apricot, and melon, backed by a steely minerality and a lean, crisp finish.

Albariño

The primary grape of the Rías Baixas (Lower Inlets) section of the Galicia region of northwestern Spain, Albariño is considered by many to be Spain's premier white wine. It also plays an important role in northern Portugal (where it is known as Alvarinho) as a component of Vinho Verde. The thick-skinned grapes thrive in the cool, windy climates of Galicia and northern Portgual, yielding intensely aromatic wines with typical aromas of almonds, white flowers, and stone fruits; the best examples...
