  2022 Albariño, Lagar de Cervera

  Aromatically the 2022 vintage stands out for its marked varietal character and intensity, with white fruit notes -golden delicious apple and ripe pear- as well as stone fruit, particularly apricot, and hints of lemon peel. Fresh and vibrant on the palate, with excellent structure, intense and well-balanced. It retains a saline aftertaste and a long, lingering finish.

  Perfect to enjoy with any appetizer. Ideal with seafood or salads, fish rice dishes, poultry and fresh cheese, also the perfect choice for sushi and sashimi.

  Albarino Brut NV, Mar de Frades

  £2895

  The first of its kind, a sparkling Albarino.  Mar de Frades lies in the heartland of Rias Baixas. This is the truest expression of the terroir, nestled upon the Galician coast where the seawater washes up on the shore finds its way through the breeze onto the skins of Albarino grapes giving its notorious salinity.

  In the glass, this wine is lemon/golden in colour with a fine persistent bead of bubbles.  The nose is expressive and complex with white fruits, eucalyptus, almond and toast as well as that classic Albarino trait of seawater.  In the mouth, it is full, creamy and deliciously cool.  The Albarino salinity is again in full force with those white fruits and toasty notes leaving you wanting more.  Ideal as an aperitif or with starters like smoked salmon, scallops or oysters.

  The label has a thermosensitive logo so that when the wine is chilled at the right serving temperature, a blue galleon(boat) appears and disappears when it is too warm for consumption.

  2021 Albariño ‘OCon’, Xosé Lois Sebio

  £3100

  An intense and aromatic example of Spain’s iconic variety, Albariño. Aromas of stone fruit combine with floral notes and chalky, mineral nuances. Deliciously refreshing and balanced with deep fruit flavours enveloped in an enticing smoky character and a long, fresh finish.

  The grapes for O Con come from a single vineyard ‘Sobre a Mina’ in the DO Rias Baixas in the North West of Spain. The old, low yielding 70-year-old Albariño vines are planted at a density of 1,000 to 2,000 vines per hectare and produce grapes with concentrated flavours. The vineyard is situated on a hillside at an altitude of between 50 to 100 metres above sea level, where it is influenced by cooling sea breezes from the Atlantic. The vineyard is cultivated in the traditional manner and the schistous soils imbue the wine with an intense character and mineral style. The grapes are manually harvested at optimum maturity.
