Spain - Galicia - Rias Baixas   

Albariño is a Portuguese grape, native to the Miño River region, which separates Galicia & the Rias Baixas DO from Portugal. Albariño has a characteristic citrus aroma & high acidity.

Valminor Albarino presents a yellow straw color. On the nose, the wine shows a wide fruity range of aromas, with notes of fresh grapefruit, apricot and melon. In the mouth, Valminor combines fruity flavors and freshness with a rounded acidity, resulting in a balanced wine that boasts an opulent taste and slight spritziness.

jeb dunnuck logo 250"Crushed citrus, honeyed green apple, mint, chalky minerality, and subtle reductive notes all emerge from the 2023 Albarino Rias Baixas, a pure, clean, utterly classic Albarino that has bright yet integrated acidity. It's a brilliant white with tons to love."

vinous logo"Vivid yellow-gold. Expressive aromas of pear, lemon pith and melon; lively mineral and ginger notes come up with air. Sappy citrus and orchard fruit flavors are lifted by an undercurrent of zesty minerality and pick up a floral quality on the back half. Juicy and seamless in texture, finishing with fine clarity and gently chewy persistence. - Josh Raynolds"
