    October 2, 2021 - Last bottle of this vintage, already have some 2019 in place. This really is consistent stuff and is a fairly regular visitor to our fish on Friday night dining table.

    April 10, 2021 - Running out of things to say about this wine, a Friday night fish/shellfish partner regular in our house over many vintages. Consistent as ever; I think I have said that before.

    January 24, 2021 - Pale lemon in color. Good intensity on the nose - apple, gooseberry, peach and melon. Super clean and sharp. Yet has backbone. Even some creaminess. On the palette has good intensity ; apple and gooseberry along with the classic Rias Baixas salt of the sea air. Nice good length. Overall lovely balance from the domaine and the woman who put Rias Baixas on the map. Is their entry level wine, and great value for money. A fantastic Introduction to good Albarino. It is said this producers Albariño will age well. We will see; either way it well worth having several in the cellar to pop and pour when finally we can have friends around once again to share good wine with. Can’t wait!

    November 24, 2020 - Nice acidity, tartness, freshness, minerality. Lacking on the finish--short and watery, though it gained some weight as it opened. I think this is stylistically typical, especially at the price point. Refreshing with spiced food, and a good alternative to Riesling because it doesn't require residual sugar. No grassy notes like a Sauv Blanc.

    November 9, 2020 - Love this style of winemaking, so an excellent wine...but a little more watery and less concentrated this time around...honeydew, grapefruit, lemon, hibiscus with some minerality

    October 25, 2020 - Another vintage of this regular visitor to our house. I am sure I would be being very consistent if I said that this wine is consistently good. There are probably higher quality Albariño’s from Rias Baixas, at a higher price, but we have long enjoyed this one, especially with shellfish, in this case Scampi.

    October 6, 2020 - Pear aroma upon opening & initial pour. Summer sipper as wine was relatively brisk w/acidic finish. Flavors somewhat muted. OK wine.

    October 3, 2020 - Really nice wine...open and rounded with nice legs...may be a little bit missing in terms of flavor density, feels a little bit watery at times...really love this wine, big wine for the price

    July 25, 2020 - Drank at Ingrid and Juergen's house.
    surprisingly developed for such a young wine, Had more flavor and body than most Albariños I had in the past.
    Very pleasant and satisfying.
