Rias Baixas Albarino

Albarino from Rias Baixas represents the gold standard of Spanish white wine: a single-varietal expression that has conquered fine dining rooms worldwide with its refreshing acidity, floral and peach aromatics, and distinctive mineral salinity reflecting its Atlantic coastal origins. The grape is thought to have been introduced by Cistercian monks in the 12th century, possibly from the Rhine region. Top producers such as Pazo de Senorans, Martin Codax, and Terras Gauda demonstrate the range from fresh and simple to complex and age-worthy.
