"Angular, saline and vertical, this reflects the house and regional styles. Direct, with a delineated thread of fruit and characteristic maritime sharpness. Its precision and straightforwardness are part of its charm. An exceptional value. Drink now."

"This is the wine that keeps the lights on at Albamar, according to Xurxo Alba, who makes 90,000 bottles of it every year. Made with grapes from 20 local growers, it's a foudre and stainless steel fermented Albariño that spends eight months on its lees. Great value for money, it has aromas of hawthorn blossom and jasmine, a hint of oak spice, lemon zest flavours and a tangy, granite-etched finish. 2025-29"

"The 2024 Albamar is the entry-level white here, produced with grapes from different plots. It's still very young, but it has no reduction. It is a bit shy but shows clean and precise, serious and austere beyond the varietal notes, with good ripeness and very good balance and a dry, chalky finish. It has 13% alcohol and integrated acidity. I think 2024's main characteristic is balance."

"The 2024 Albariño is from Castrelo, Salnés. It aged in stainless steel and in foudre. This offers lime and apple aromas with delicate orange blossom and a subtle oak undertone. The palate is malic, slightly creamy and tense, with a faint lactic note."
