Albamar Rias Baixas Albarino 2023 (750ml)
Xurxo Alba’s family has been farming and making Albariño in Rïas Baixas O Salnés region, near the Atlantic Ocean, for generations. This is a taut and fresh white wine with so much energy… it literally tastes like the sea and revitalizes like no other. Fruity notes of nectarine, lime zest, and lychee come through on the backend. This has a beautiful balance of fruit and salty minerality that perfectly marries with anything seafood (think scallop ceviche or fish tacos).

Robert Parker: 93 Points
The eponymous flagship village white 2023 Albamar… has clarity, purity and transparency, which seems to define the 2023 vintage, and it is floral and perfumed but serious, with a vibrant palate. It is easy to drink, with moderate alcohol, good freshness… and finishes with a salty touch. It's very tasty, one of the finest vintages—if not the finest—for this bottling, which has also grown in volume.
