QUICK TALK

This is a lean, pure expression of Albariño, Spain's most important white grape. Bright citrus, seaspray, and wet stones lead to a vibrant and clean palate.

NOTES

Winemaker Xurxu Alba started his winery in 2006 next door to his parent’s restaurant. He farms as naturally as possible and works with local farmers willing to commit to similar practices. The wine is purely a result of the grapes and the ocean influence on the terrain, with the classic salty sea spray notes typical of Albariño. Short lees aging lends just enough texture to round out the palate for an elegant, balanced wine.
