"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."

 "Three different fincas - A catuxa, Estas and Figueiro - supply the grapes for this O'Rosal Albariño from schist soils. Immediately appealing on the nose, it has a palate of lime, peach and passion fruit, sappy acidity and a brisk, refreshing finish. 2024-2027."

"Refreshing, scented nose of sliced apples, oyster shells, nectarines and white blossoms. Dry, pithy and saline on the palate, with tangy, briny flavors and a supple, salty finish. Delicious sea-water note at the end. Vegan. Drink now."

"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"
