Tasting Notes
- Goedhuis, September 2011
- We must have tasted through about 50 Albariños before we found the perfect one. And this is it. Elegantly aromatic, this fresh and lifted 2010 offers up sweet orchard fruit, crunchy grapes and underlying spicy smoke, so expressive of top Albariño. Highly recommended.
Rías Baixas
Rías Baixas is the most important wine region in Galicia, north-west Spain, producing some of Spain's most sought-after dry white wines. There are 5 subzones, which all share the same granite-based subsoils and relatively cool, damp, maritime climate. The albariño grape rules here and produces a fragrant, intensely fruity, dry white wine with a natural minimum alcohol often above 12 per cent. This can often be blended with caiño blanco, as well as treixadura, and loureira. The purest albariño wines come from Val do Salnés zone. Red wine can also be made from mencía, espadeiro, and caiño tinto but these are relatively unimportant.
