"Fatter, fleshier, and more textured than the straight Albariño, the 2017 Albariño 1583 is another brilliant white from this estate that’s well worth seeking out. Notes of green apples, spice, and crushed rocks all flow to a medium to full-bodied white that has a dense, layered mid-palate, terrific balance, and a great finish. This beauty is geared for the dinner table and, as with the base cuvée, it should keep for 2-4 years easily. This cuvée is 100% Albariño that spent four months in French and American oak followed by two months in stainless steel."

"Light straw-yellow. Expressive, mineral-accented pear, melon and jasmine aromas are sharpened by a suggestion of lemon pith. Silky and expansive on the palate, showing excellent depth and fine clarity to the Meyer lemon, honeydew, pear nectar and spicy ginger flavors. The mineral quality drives a strikingly long, sharply focused finish that leaves a resonating floral note behind. - Josh Raynolds"
"The oaking of the 2019 1583 Albariño de Fefiñanes was quite subtle and seems to have brought forward the more balsamic notes of the variety, making it come through as a little more herbal, with almost a minty touch, reminiscent of bay leaf. The palate is not as vibrant and pure as the unoaked wine from this same year, which was exceptionally good. - Luis Gutiérrez"
"The 2020 1583 Albariño de Fefiñanes fermented in 225-liter oak barrels and had bâtonnage of the lees for three months, but the wine doesn't show oak aromas or flavors and feels quite balanced and fresh in a very good, ripe and powerful but fresh vintage. 15,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2021. - Luis Gutiérrez"
