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.

Staff Pick Notes

Spring has sprung! Which means it is time to roll out the red carpet for fresh and easy wines for warm weather and Sundays in the park with close friends. This Albariño is exactly what I am rocking out with. It tastes like bottled sunshine and a cool sea breeze. Expect light citrus notes of lemongrass and lime zest as well as a light minerality. Always fresh and easy, you definitely can't go wrong with this wine's pricepoint either considering it can go head to head with many higher-end French Sauvignon Blancs at nearly twice the price. Drink this with mussels cooked in a white wine sauce with shallots, garlic, and butter and you will make for an amazing and simple evening. Or afternoon...or morning.

In Rioja, Navarra, and the Ribera del Duero (which have the most stringent requirements) red Crianzas must be aged a minimum of two years; Reservas, at least three...

Rías Baixas

Located on the Northeast coast of Spain, just north of the Portuguese border, Rías Baixas is home to the famed white grape varietal Albariño. These deliciously refreshing whites typically offer aromas of peach, apricot, and melon, backed by a steely minerality and a lean, crisp finish.

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. The thick-skinned grapes thrive in the cool, windy climates of Galicia and northern Portgual, yielding intensely aromatic wines with typical aromas of almonds, white flowers, and stone fruits; the best examples...
