"The wine that started it all and continues to represent half of the producer,s production, the 2024 Sparkling Albarino Octopus is tank-fermented on native yeast to ensure the Albari¤o shines through varietally, with a short tirage of six months after six months in tank. Always incredibly good, the light-bodied bubbles taste fresh and crunchy in apple and apricot. Drink now through 2034."

"Seductive and classy aromas of ripe yellow fruit, baked brioche, citrus fruits and fresh bread. Bold rush of firm mousse. Palate starts fresh, and develops a toasty richness. Harmonious, sophisticated with nice complexity and manages to retain varietal typicity."

"Characteristic Albariño with white blossoms, grapefruit, lemons and a spiced herbal edge. Expressive palate with gooseberry, tangerine, pineapple, white peach and a saline, bitter finish. Intriguing."
