Leirana Rias Baixas Albarino

Open for 10-15 mins.
Lots of grapefruit ( white) on the nose, white flowers and seashore.
Initially, on the palate, the grapefruits prevail, it feels almost delicate, but like a knife’s edge delicacy. It’s all on the mid palate, not necessarily a bad thing. Very refreshing. After Vongole Ala Marcella Hazan, plus cheeses, it’s oceanic and perfecto. My mind* hopes that as it airs out it might broaden a bit. But not necessary. The mineral finish sticks around for quite a while. At $20 through the @palcb a steal.

Adegas Gran Vinum Mar de Viñas Albariño Rias Baixas/Val do Salnes 2018
A glass w work lunch of homegrown tomatoe/avocado and tinned sardines.
Medium yellow color. Aromas of drupe fruits (peach/apricot). Mouth is more about peach pit with a hint of bitterness and a savory, salty element. Went better w the tomatoes than the sardines (umami harmony?)
Disclaimer that I import it.

O Con Viño de Encostas Albariño

Outstanding Albariño by Xosé Luis Sebio (winemaker at Coto de Gomariz). From old vines in Aios (Sanxenxo) in the Salnes subzone of Rías Baixas. Clean, precise nose with aromas of citrus, minerals, sea breeze. Very refreshing, elegant on the palate. Citrus, zesty acidity. Long, saline finish. Very very good — 4 years ago

Do Ferreiro Albariño 2024

A nice Albariño, grapes from the Contado do Tea subzone and the Salnes subzone, aged on lees for about 9 months, pale lemon with aromas of citrus and tropical fruits. On the palate pronounced flavors of melon and lemon with hints of toasty notes from lees aging. Long finish, vivid acidity, ending with fruit and smoky character. Will age well. — 10 days ago

Dazzling #albarino that’s the kind of hidden gem found deep in a wine list for a restaurant with a great program. Enticing nose, unexpectedly rich body with plenty of bright acidity, mineral undertones - delicious. — 4 years ago

Pazo de Barrantes

Rías Baixas Albariño

Started by the Creixell family in 1991. Produced with the fruit from their 12-hectare estate in Valle del Salnes. Vivid straw yellow with citrus and stone fruit aromas and herb notes. The palate shows apple and grapefruit flavors, crisp with floral and mineral tones. Medium finish, well balanced, generous acidity on a soft ending. Easy drinking. Very nice! — 8 years ago
