Palacio Fefinanes, Rias Baixas, Albarino Fefinanes

As for last note - very fine.

2019 vintage

Lemon lime and gold in colour- brisk Albarino seaside fresh bouquet- bright acidity , mineral and white currant flavours -very good time to get out the seafood.

2019 vintage

God this is good.... Quite deep lemon/gold in colour. Textured, full, interesting. Apples both tart and with a hint of sweetness, other fruit notes too, maybe more tropical even. An interesting and most enjoyable wine to be savoured. Drunk with grilled halibut with crab risotto.

2019 vintage

Deep golden yellow with a hint of green. Melon rind and on the nose. As many note there is a lot of lemon, but there is so much more. I get unripe pear and a subtle backbone of aged cheese. Great finish with just the right acidity.

2019 vintage

Crisp texture and refreshing mouthfeel make this an excellent Albariño for sipping or accompanying a meal of fresh fish or lightly prepared meats. Aromas of pear, green apple, and a hint of mineralogy. Flavors of pear, apple, and lemon. Well structured, with pleasing acidity. Medium-length, slightly tart fruit finish.

2019 vintage

We gave to Brienna for her 33rd bday

2019 vintage

Excellent wine. One of best Albarino I've had. Medium yellow/lemon colour. Apples on the nose, following through to palate, but rounded not too tart. A pleasing fullness and good finish. Excellent with a beetroot and goat's cheese starter.

2019 vintage

Tart

2019 vintage

The Albariño grape, grown on the Atlantic coast of Spain, has long been a source of great white wine and this is just a completely delicious example. Tastes like green apple and lemon, very clean and refreshing. The traditional food pairing for Albariño is shellfish (and that would be lovely), but if you need a wine to drink with sushi, Chinese dishes, or any kind of spicy food- this is the one. Of course it's also a delight to drink …

2019 vintage

Full bodied, good bakanced acidity. At 13€ good value.

2019 vintage

Pale yellow color w/excellent clarity. Fruit-forward aromas of apple, pear, & wet stone. Fruity flavors led by apple and pear, w/refreshingly crisp, stony notes. Crisp acidity, but well balanced for sipping or accompanying fresh fish or lightly prepared chicken.

2019 vintage

Beautiful and lemony, much better from zalto white wine glass.

2019 vintage

Just opened and really fun lemony fresh. On the nose and on the palate as well.

2019 vintage

Pure flavors of grapefruit and green apple. Light floral and grassy aromas on top. Drink now.

2019 vintage

Light to med body Slightly creamy Lees and stone fruit

2019 vintage

Really enjoyed this. What marked it out for me was what one taster called a citrus line; certainly there was what struck me as an extra dimension of a fresh, acidic line that provided a refreshing counterpoint to the rich peachy fruit. Lovely.

2019 vintage

Acidity, mineral, Atlantic breeze. Great value. Muscadet like

2019 vintage

Bright and full bodied

2019 vintage

Pale straw colour. There’s a line of citrus lime running through it with peach and something floral. Lovely luxurious coating in the mouth. I thought this was very classy.

2019 vintage

That smells wonderful. Pronounced with lots of lemon. And palate is quick and tart in a very good way.

2019 vintage

Fefiñanes is Rías Baixas’ most historic albariño producer who continue to make one of the most delicious examples. Soft and peachy Spanish white with a lovely line of lemony freshness.

2019 vintage

I have been drinking this wine for years and this may be the best vintage or at least the best bottle yet. Has some real stuffing.

2019 vintage

Highly expressive wine of the best kind. The fruit is extraordinary right now with great depth supported by a creamy but in now way fat texture. It has some exotic fruit character but there are also white petals and a great salinity that gives sharp and beautiful outlines to the wine. This is remarkably well made and ready to drink. It even accelerates on the second night, so you can pop the cork but you don´t need to.

2019 vintage

Ren, floral, svakt tropisk duft, innslag av fersken, honningmelon og et ørlite urtepreg. Smaken er sval og delikat med flott frukt og rene toner av eple og fersken. God, ren og middels intens syrestruktur. Lett oljete og ‘fluffyp’ tekstur, god fylde og saltaktig mineralitet, lang smakskurve med toner av saltvann, grønne epler og et hint av fersken i ettersmaken. Flott match til sashimi og i seg selv en topp albariño som fortjener bortimot 90 poeng.

2019 vintage

Lovely mineral, fresh but aromatic albarino. Very more-ish

2019 vintage

Ripping acidity. Clean, citrus, perfect for shellfish

2013 vintage

Getting close to the end of its life, it is now offering developed aromas with well preserved freshness, very good with sea food as always.

2013 vintage

As usual this is very dependable when need to match sea food, rounded from the time spend in the bottle, a bit creamy this time, a touch salty on the aftertaste which makes it more charming. Like it.

2013 vintage

Still drinking nicely, went pretty smooth with Gambas al ajillo.

2013 vintage

Bright, crisp and with a couple of years in the bottle just a bit more depth in the finish, which is long. I'm going to go to 90 points because if all albarino was like this we'd be very happy indeed.

2013 vintage

Drank next to 2013 Mar de Frades Albariño, similar in style, just a little bit behind in terms of intensity. Elegant, with sort of transparency that is so delicate, that you need to serve it to the right temperature (9-10 deg) and glass for good showing of the wine.

2013 vintage

Rather warm and ripe fruit, where pears dominate, but the nose also has some freshness from citrus. Same impressions are carried over to the palate where it is complimented by a precise acidity and notes of pineapple. A rather one dimensional and simple wine but at the same time rather generous.

2013 vintage

full citrus peel with full sea and lime minerals, acid, brine - just a bit of gingery spice to the mineral. Very nice Sancere- er, Albariño. Great job supporting an array of raw and cooked oysters.

2013 vintage

Bright, light straw. Nose of lemon pith, apple, and tarragon. Apricot and minerals in the mouth. Crisp, clean, bright. Great acidity. Cutting, floral finish. Drink now.

2013 vintage

The nose is clean, med intensity, the profile is more acidic wtih lemon, pineapple,lime, spicy green stalky/peppery notes, green apple, youthful overall. It felt like having a few toes over the off-dry line, light to med body and intensity, 12.5% alcohol, med/med+ acidity, ripe apricot and lime, balanced towards the acidity, green apple with short to med finish. Very good quality, drinking now or hold. Even though it scored less than the 2010 Viña Nora Albariño Rías Baixas Nora Da …

2013 vintage

Not as good as I expected. Good acidity, too much lemon, not much finish. Wouldn't get again. One of the first albarino's I haven't loved.

2013 vintage

Spanish wines with Petaluma tasting group, Pt. 1 (Tessa's) : High, bright, shrill acid. Lemon. Grass. To sharp for my taste. Out of balance.

2013 vintage

Delicious. Juicy, savory, structured, refreshing, balanced.

2013 vintage

Straw-colored, crisply acidic and delightfully aromatic, this light-bodied white is just what the doctor ordered for a scorching hot (late summer) Southern California day! Pear, citrus and wet stone aromas carry through to the palate, which is refreshing and seamlessly alcoholic (12.5%). The middle palate is solid. This wine's strongest asset is its lengthy, juicy finish, which vaults it into the "outstanding" category. Enjoy it in its youth. Drink now-2015.

2013 vintage

A private lunch (Restaurant Barrafina, Adelaide Street, London, UK) : Magnum. Cool and citrussy, floral and fresh, hint of peach, Riesling-like, juicy, seamless, good length.

2013 vintage

Monthly Tasting Group HWS #090; Albariño / Rias Baixas (By IL) : Expressive bouquet with a lot of grasses, flowers and green apple. On the palate fresh and crisp, flowers again, good tart citrus, peach, minerals. Touch of pleasant bitterness. Tasty and elegant wine with a good complexity and finish. Still a bit too young.

2013 vintage

Crisp, dry, refreshing. Perfect for a warm evening.

2002 vintage

Are you sure?
