This is a surprise. I did an educated pick from a wine store that doesn’t have the best selection. Very nice Albariño. It has all of the characteristics you would expect. Definitely a wine region that casual wine drinkers should look for. If you only drink Chardonnay, try this. I love the saline finish to this wine, like a flavor you would find in a good sherry. Light body, a delicious amount of acid, grapefruit and nectarines, and I get chalk, which is not common, maybe it’s me, but I get chalk in Albariño wine. Look people, drink more Albariño. — 7 months ago
Caiño-based blend. Attractive nose, bright red fruit and some peppery notes. Fresh, mineral, great acidity. Very easy to drink. Loved this wine — 2 years ago
First time trying this type of varietal. Savory fleshy bouquet. Mushroom , forest floor, earthy loam, prune and raisin. Great backbone of acid, cherry and more prune on the palate. Lots of structure to keep aging. Very unique wine. 13% — 2 months ago

Very pleasingly fresh and natural for its price, showing very green with aromas of bell pepper, which mingles on the palate with green strawberry. A wine harvested early to compensate for a warm year, and though it shows, the result is tasty. — 9 months ago

Gosh, this producer sure knows how to pull on my heartstrings. The palate was very light, watery thin even, but the perfume it exuded was just incredible. Fresh roses, violets, cherries, orange zest, smoky incense, and some herbs. Boah, I could just keep swirling and smelling this wine. — 5 months ago
Fun grape varietals (Mencia, Brancellao, Caiño, Sousón, Garnacha Tintorera and others.)and natural, terroir driven, winemaking style makes this bottle taste fresh and lively.
Lots of pepper on the nose, freshly snapped stems, and bright herby components dominate but also tagging along are red fruit flavors like pomegranate, raspberry, red apple skin, and bruised strawberry.
Really quite delicious and unique. — a year ago
