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 — 3 years ago
Actually red Carrasquin Mencia. Recommended by Genova at NM in Oviedo on 5/17/25, to accompany one of best meals ever — indeed good pairing except with dairy dessert. Like high altitude Pinot. — 23 days ago

Lemons and chalk! A match, weirdly w cavatelli and pesto. Beautiful, bright stuff. — 5 years ago
Nice aromas of citrus, peach and minerals. Medium plus acidity, very nice sipping on a sunny porch and with a charcuterie board. — 8 months 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 — 4 years ago

Simple, local Albarin (which I didn’t know was so distinctive from Albariño) by the glass at Güeyu Mar. — 11 days ago
