Mouth: medium acid, sweet fruit yet dry, soft riesling like texture, medium+ fruit concentration And medium length, 12.5% alcohol And low+ body
Conclusion: a very fruity wine that needs a complexity in food pairings. It overpowered the ceviche. Well balanced and typica Albariño. (935 views) | | | Tasted by redwhiteandrich on 6/13/2020 & rated 92 points: Lost bottle in the cellar after 3 years, a little seepage and on day one not much fruit left, zinging acids and minerality still present. Day two with a bit more air and warming in the glass, this is just luscious with a bit of pleasant bitterness on the finish. (976 views) | | | Tasted by Rudolph Schmidt on 5/28/2020: Enjoyed from a magnum. Was meant to pair with halloumi cheese but ended up drinking it by itself. Whoops! (930 views) | | | Tasted by Andybe on 2/19/2020 & rated 93 points: Very good white from the north of spain. Don’t drink it to cold. Day 3 still in shape ! Bargain.. (1186 views) | | | Tasted by redwhiteandrich on 5/11/2019 & rated 92 points: Even after being open for 3 days in the fridge, this still has the verve as day 1. Fantastic edge and texture. Love this wine, a case buy if you can. (1017 views) | | | Tasted by lefty4012 on 4/20/2019: Great acidity, lemon, would wait maybe a year or two (878 views) | | | Tasted by martinlopez on 12/9/2018 & rated 90 points: Aroma fresco, típico albariño, quizá con algo más. En boca presenta la frescura y acidez del albariño y enseguida se redondea con tonos amargos. Intenso. (1037 views) | | | Tasted by Wulffila on 10/13/2018 & rated 87 points: Fruity with quite significant acidity. Nice! (1003 views) | | | Tasted by Monsun on 8/17/2018 & rated 82 points: W nosie kwiatowe pyłki, delikatne cytrusy. W smaku limonka, troszkę nut mineralnych i tropikalnych. Zwiewne. (1121 views) | | | Tasted by Ianthemac on 8/15/2018 & rated 89 points: A very good Albariño. Zesty lemon and lime. A touch of melon and pineapple. Crisp acidity. Medium length. Recommended. (768 views) | | | Tasted by Anders Danielsen Lie on 8/3/2018 & rated 88 points: 70% Albariño, 18 caino blanco, 12 loureiro. Litt smørlubben duft over hovedsakelig Albariño-aromabilde. Ikke vært på eik. Ganske fruktdominert smak. God balanse. Stabilt god vin (976 views) | | | Tasted by redwhiteandrich on 7/27/2018 & rated 94 points: Best bottle yet from the case. White peach, quince, a touch of honey waxiness and a great finish. Not overtly complex but also packing a whole lot in less than $20. A summer case buy. (708 views) | | | Tasted by sjw_11 on 5/29/2018 & rated 86 points: Quite developed colour. This is relatively fat on the nose, with quite ripe stone fruit, even veering towards apricot. There’s a touch of phenolic lift on the back of the nose too. The palate is quite sharp and angular, with good acid but all the pieces feel out of balance. Give it a couple of years maybe? Hard to say. (752 views) | | | Tasted by Neecies on 5/24/2018 flawed bottle: Strong flavors, very concentrated, but slightly fizzy. I know this wine from prior vintages and it should have shown better. (643 views) | | | Tasted by chcook on 5/20/2018: IJB nailed it...this is really nice and goes down very easily (610 views) | | | Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 5/16/2018 & rated 92 points: Rias Baixas Albarino: Rich yellow color. Gorgeous aromatics of sea breeze, salted almond, lemon curd, some creamy-deeper aromas of whipped honey and tropical flowers as well. Texture is lovely, there’s so much depth on the palate while the acid rips across the palate and keeps it fresh. Lime, orange pulp, tart green apple, lemon crème, the fruit is tossed with saline, mineral, some interesting raw olive and almond notes. Love the complexity here, and the balance, my favorite of the lot. This also includes 20% Caino and 10% Loureiro. (734 views) | | | Tasted by Mossrose on 4/18/2018 & rated 93 points: 70% Albarino, 20% Caino Blanco, 10% Loureira, from the Atlantic coastal appellation in Spain, north of Portugal, that is absolutely delightful. The acidity is vivid and refreshing. The aromas are a complex mixture of lemon, fresh apricot, melon, and yeasty bread. The texture is mouth coating, unctuous, and everlasting from entry through finish. Overall, different, interesting, rich, and concentrated.

Wine Map on weinlagen-info
Spain is the third largest wine producing nation in the world, occupying the majority of the Iberian Peninsula with vast diversity in climate, culture, and of course, wine. From inky, dark reds of the [Priorat] to dry, white Finos from Andalusia, Spain can easily boast of elaborating a wide variety of notable styles. Within Spain there are currently 62 demarcated wine regions, of which a handful have gained international recognition: [Rioja], Priorat and [Ribera del Duero]. Yet these regions are only a small sample of the high quality wines Spain produces. Regions such as Cava, Penedes, Somontano, Galicia, Rueda and Jerez are only a few of the numerous regions worthy of exploration throughout Spain. Spain can also lay claim to having the most land under vine in the world, growing up to, by some accounts, 600 indigenous varietals of which Tempranillo is their most well known. Other popular varietals include [Garnacha], Bobal and Monastrell for reds and for whites; the infamous [sic] Palomino Fino grape which is used in the production of sherry wine, Pedro Ximenez in Montilla Morilles, Albarino used in the creation of the bright, effervescent wines of Galicia, and Verdejo in Rueda. - Source: - Catavino.net
Spain is not in the forefront of winemaking for its dessert wines, other than for its sweet wines from Sherry country including the highly revered Olorosos (when sweetened). But apart from Sherry Spain has a range of styles of dessert wines, ranging from the those made from the Pedro Ximenez grape primarily in Jerez and Montilla-Moriles) to luscious, red dessert wines made in the Mediterranean from the Garnacha (Grenache) grape. Some good Moscatels are made in Mallorca, Alicante and Navarre. The northwest corner of Spain, Galicia, with its bitter Atlantic climate, is even making dessert wines, called “Tostadillos” in the village of Ribadivia (similar to France’s “Vin de Paille”). The Canary Islands have made interesting dessert wines for centuries (they are mentioned by Shakespeare, for example) and in recent years the quality of winemaking has been improved and the Canary Islands wines are being better marketed now. The winemaking styles for “Vinos Dulces” are also diverse, from “Late Harvest” (Vendimia Tardía) to “Fortified Wines” (Fermentación Parcial). Based on in-spain.info.GaliciaGalicia is an autonomous region in the northwestern corner of Spain, north of Portugal. It is marked by an atlantic climate with frequent rain and moderate temperatures, especially along the coastal regions. There are five Denominación de Origen (DO) areas: Monterrei, Rías Baixas, Ribeira Sacra, Ribeiro and Valdeorras. Probably the best known wines are the Albariño wines from Rias Baixas, but all regions have seen increased interest in recent years. There has been also a notable resurgence of local grapes, like Godello, Treixadura or Loureiro.
Rías BaixasThe Rías Baixas (Galician for "Lower Rias") are the Atlantic facing southern a part of Costa del Marisco in the Galicia region of Spain. They consist of the southern part of the Province of Coruña and the entire Province of Pontevedra. To the South the Rias Baixas border the Portuguese coast, and ends at Cape Finisterre to the North. The Rías Baixas appellation began in 1980 on October 11 when the Denominación Específica Albariño was legally established and recognised by the Spanish state. Four years later, on April 30, the regulations of the Denominación Específica Albariño and its Regulating Board were officially approved. Because of the need to adapt Spanish legislation to that of the EU, the Department of Agriculture, in an order dated March 17, 1988, recognised the Denominación de Origen Rías Baixas, and on July 4 published the order which approved the regulations of the appellation and its Regulating Board, ratified by a ministerial order on July 28 of the same year. During its short history, the Rías Baixas appellation has evolved in a sound and ordered way; and in the period between the years 1987 and 2001, the number of growers rose from 492 to 5,059, the number of wineries increased from 14 to 161 and the surface vineyard area expanded from 237 hectares to 2,408 (585 acres to 5,948). |
