Ah, “Bienbebido Come Pulpo y Bebe Vino Alvarinho,” a title that rolls off the tongue like a well-aged Barolo at a soiree! Hailing from the lush vineyards of the Rías Baixas region in Spain, this Alvarinho is a veritable treasure from the Atlantic coast, where the grape thrives in a climate as forgiving as a doting grandmother.

On the nose, one is greeted with exuberant aromas of ripe stone fruits—think peach and apricot—tinged with a whisper of sea breeze. The palate is a harmonious blend of zesty acidity and luscious mouthfeel, reminiscent of sun-drenched beaches and long, leisurely lunches.

Interestingly, the producer—known for their adventurous spirit—often hosts “wine swims”—yes, I do mean swims, not swimsuits, though that may be a sight! Alvarinho, famed for its high acidity, shines particularly well in seafood pairings; grilled octopus and citrus-infused dishes elevate the experience to euphoric heights.

Professionally lauded by the critics at Wine Enthusiast, it received a commendable 93 points. It’s a little scandalous to enjoy such a marvel—but who said good taste had to be virtuous? — 5 hours ago

En nariz frutos rojos maduros, cuero y tabaco. En boca es potente y denso. Muy equilibrado. Se bebe sin darse cuenta. Un vino espectacular y mucho más por el precio (unos 17€). Es posible que con unos años más en botella todavía mejore. — 3 years ago

Whoa, a bargain baby. Although it shows some edges, time will tell how they resolve. A touch of VA on the nose took a sec to blow off, then it screamed of red fruit and smoldering tar. The tar thankfully went from smoldering to sparking off here and there, but then the earth, wow, this is earthy, but still, the fruit dominates. The palate nails the Nebbiolo high amounts of everything (acid, alcohol, tannins structure). But the tannins play fairly, a highlight accessory, not a scene stealer. The tannic grip hangs on but in tandem with fruit and soil into which rose petals may have fallen last spring. I can’t believe the price on this bebe. — 4 months ago

Un vino muy agradable. Equilibrado. Frutas maduras y especias. Notas de madera y cuero. Su único pero es que el final es algo corto. Se bebe tan bien que se acaba enseguida — 4 years ago
