Staff Pick Notes

White wines from Galicia have become synonymous with fresh citrusy Albariños, but the region is home to plenty of other white grapes. This Coribante Blanco is not only a showcase of the varieties of the region (50% Albariño, 25% Caiño Blanco & 25% Godello), but defies expectations in terms of style. It's rich and textured with a deep golden color that comes from aging on the lees in French barriques for a year. Bright acidity gives this wine a lift and there's even a little saline quality, which is common in wines from the Val do Salnes, which is named after the salt flats that used to cover the land. In the middle ages the fisherman used the salt to preserve their fish. Pair this with fleshier varieties such as hake or swordfish

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.

Albariño

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...

Blanco

White tequila, an official type (tipo) for tequila bottled fresh from the still, or allowed to rest in stainless steel tanks for up to sixty days before bottling. It is never aged in wooden barrels. Also known as plata, plato, and silver tequila. Usually the most robust, strong-flavoured of the tequila types.
