Tasting Notes
From the Val do Salnés sub-region of Rías Baixas comes an excellent Albariño that's a head above the rest, in our opinion. Opulent, mineraled, aromatic, dry, and simply delicious. Will not disappoint at the table, especially with the likes of mussels or clams.

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.
