Description
Rias Baixas (very hard to pronounce) also known as Green Spain is located on the Atlantic coast, with all its cool climate moderating ocean influences that the Atlantic Ocean brings. Val do Salnes is known as the birthplace of Albarino, it is the original and oldest sub-region of Rias Baixas. The granite and rocky soil with alluvial topsoil increase the focus and minerality of the wines. This is from a biodynamic vineyard and portrays all that is great about Albarino.
Smells
intense aromas of stone fruit, peach skin, dehydrated yellow guava, quince, and hints of lavender.
Tastes
a delightfully rich, oily, full-bodied Albarino, that simply knocks my socks off. Many speak of the virtues of this variety and for once this wine truly speaks of them. The concentrated palate has a chalky texture, finishing with a firm Gin & Tonic-like finish. Upon swallowing the acid resonates giving a mouthcoating freshness, and true to form this variety typically has higher acidity levels, clearly apparent in this 22 Alba Martin. An impressive wine with texture, presence, and power. Drinking well now through 2027 and will match with hard cheese, chicken, and pork.
