Developing a taste for Albarín, an indigenous variety from Leon, Asturias and Galicia, where it is also known as Branco Lexítimo. From 60+ years old vines on slate, limestone and clay soils in Cangas de Narcea (Asturias). Aged in used 500 liter French oak barrels for 6 months. Notes of citrus. Very fresh, zippy acidity — 2 years ago

Pale white, excellent clarity. White floral, guava aromas. Peach, green apple and citrus peel flavors. Lower alcohol, just crisp enough. First encounter with this local variety. Would love to revisit this wine soon — a year ago

100% Albarin (not to be confused with Albariño), a little-known indigenous variety from Leon and Galicia, where it is also known as Branco Lexitimo. Aromatic, citrus (lemon, tangerine) and some floral and herbal notes (reminiscent of Verdejo). Crisp, fresh, saline. Amazing value — 2 years ago
