Bu le 4 juillet 2025 à Sagaro. Pris avec un filet de saumon et salade verte et légumes poêlés. très bon. Mais un peu passé date, mais un bon vin.

Last 2021 bottle and a very good one - comparatively fruity although with that classic Albarino saline edge.

Very nice Albariño. Good acidity, fruit and finish. Like the tropical fruit. Will be great with fish.

After almost exclusively two weeks of Spanish wine on holiday, what did we do next? Another Spanish wine with good old Fish and Chips. Still drinking nicely - not much fruit but a nice structure with a hint of salinity.

Seven course wine pairing - Canlis Seattle (Seattle, WA) : Color Light yellow. Citrus green apple taste. Melon and ocean sea nose. Paired with amazing potato dish and then the salad. Excellent pairings! Lighter feel than the white served after it. Wine List description: Easy-drinking with citrus and a light, ocean kiss

Delicious Albariño. Better than the typical $15 ones. This was a little more but well worth it. Not just a fruit blast, but it has great character and is very refreshing.

Perhaps a bit austere, but enjoyable. Not as sweet as I remember Albarino but that might just be my failing memory :(

Val do Salnés. ¡Que bien le sientan a los albariños un tiempo en botella! Pajizo con destellos dorados. Nariz intensa, destacan los matices de hierba recién cortada, hay algo de manzana Fuji y recuerdos cítricos. En boca entra bien ,hay cierta untuosidad si bien pasa fluido, con notable frescura, suaves amargos y bastante longitud. Muy disfrutable.

Medium straw color. Nose of ripe peach with a touch of citrus and honeysuckle. Similar flavors on the palate with ripe, juicy stone fruits. Medium+ acidity, rounded mouthfeel, medium body. Delivers along expectations for a quality albarino but somewhat on the simple side.

Pale lemon in the glass. Aromatic - loads of canned peach, apricot, meadow flowers, green melon. Light-bodied with a beautifully bright acidity and just a touch of lees to lend a bit of complexity. The stone fruit flavours really come out on the palate, which I love. Tasty af!

Slank og fruktig med forfriskende mineralsk preg. Friske, grønne epler og lime, med våt, salt steiner fra sjøen.

The color is pale lemon. On the nose there are pronounced aromas of lemon, grapefruit, green apple, pear, blossoms, little green bell pepper. The wine is youthful. The acidity is high and the body is light. The flavors on the palate are similar to the aromas on the nose. The finish is very long. This Albarino is fresh and easy drinking. The QPR is pretty good. Glass I used: Josephine No 1.

Very fresh and crisp on the nose, dominated by bright citrus notes, with just a hint of floral elements. This impression carries through on the palate which closes with quite zippy acidity. Ideal to drink now in the summer with fresh seafood.

Encore très en forme. Fruits de la passion, poires et silex avec une belle allonge, très beau vin et un beau RQP. Une belle expression de ce qui peut se faire avec l'Albarino.

I regret that I cannot join in the praise for this wine. The nose is allright, citrus and green apple, hint of lemon, but the palate lacks verve, mineral energy and acidic cut, the finish is bland and tails off. It is certainly drinkable, but it does not live up to its billing.

100% Albariño, élevage sur lies, fermentation en inox. Un nez de fragrant sur les fruits exotiques, la poire et une pointe florale. En bouche, c`est frais et droit, la poire revient et c`est assez long…Délicieux.

The more we sip of this Albarino from Rias Baixas, the more we think it is THE Albarino from that region. Yummy!!! Amber/straw yellow. Bouquet of ripe apricots and peaches. Palate is intense with good acidity. Broad shouldered. Slightly bitter finish.

Second wine of the Monday Tapas Day at home. Straw yellow with subtle hints of green on the eye. Fun, light, fruity with good balance of acidity. We consider this almost a "must wine" when engaged in tapas.

Drunk in El Cangrejo Loco in Barcelona with lobster paella. This was a bit fuller and more rounded than other recent vintages. Certainly their best effort in a while. Very moreish

Delightful apple and pear nose with background notes of yellow fruits, melon, and a spritz of the sea. There is a green leaf note that recalls spring and a bright acidity that screams for fresh seafood. Amongst the best Albarinos I've had for the price. A perfect terrace wine.

Nose: Citrusy fruitiness. Taste & palate: medium fruitiness, slight oiliness. Relatively light bodied (even for its area & style). Slight bitterness in the aftertaste. Clean and fruity wine but a bit light and one dimensional.

Like Muscadet, but leaner and bone-dry. A little austere on it own but great with the right pairing, e.g., shellfish or perhaps a light fish preparation, though not, I think, really big enough for most warmed chicken dishes.

This bottle showed much better than the last (2nd of 6). Light to medium toned yellow color. Aromas of honeysuckle, peach, pear, green apple, and ocean breeze. Medium to full body, light spritz, medium acidity and finish, good minerality, and flavors of lemon, lime, green apple, pear, and mineral. This is made for shellfish, and while it worked fine w/ shrimp tacos tonight, would be even better w/ raw oysters or clams off the grill.

A pretty solid and versatile wine albeit on the straight forward even simple side. We dont mean that in a bad way and the wine is quite enjoyable, crisp and fresh with good floral side and nice acidity. But it is in a way one dimensional and and lacks complexity and is not memorable per se. Its a good go to wine in any wine list when one needs a dependable and versatile wine though. A good 87 from us.

Offbeat Spanish Wines (SF Wine Trading Company) : Yellow. Serious scents and flavors of nuts, citrus, and leesy richness. Textural but enlivened by strong acidity with a kernel of bitterness on the finish. Also very good.

Light, pale yellow colour. Aromatic, fresh nose with notes of pears, green apples, lemon and a touch of minerals. On the palate the wine is light and fresh with notes of pears, green apples and lemon with a litter bitter twist at the end. Good, fruity and fresh, but not nearly as good as the 2011 vintage. Could improve with a couple of years in the cellar, but this bottle had more fruit than acid, so i'm not convinced. Went …
