Condes de Alberei
Rías Baixas Albariño
Rías Baixas, Galicia, Spain
Medium intensity golden yellow. A bit timid on the nose; subtle saline solution and gosenberry aromas, really very pleasant. Good presence upon entrance that increments in power and intensity along its passage. Explodes on the third quarter with bright acidity and intense grip; all in a medium body. Flavors of green olives, and spearmint. Great minerality, with evident sea shell flavors. Excelent finish that lasts at least 8 seconds. Fantastic ability to take on foods. 89 pts. Incredible QPR!

Balanced minerality, softly floral nose, a bit briney.

Decent acid, floral, minerality and some slight pepper. Needed to be colder but totally can dig it for $9.99

Crisp, cool, perfect complement to ceviche and lobster.

Delicious, full flavor. Drinking with (and using in) Cuban food.

A little thin. Good acid, but nothing special. Not bad

Mar 27th, 2014Champagne-like golden color with pritty spark. Pretty round nose, sending subtle aromas of armagnac, along with some minerality, that's it. Quite firm upon entrance; good structure supporting some apple, kalamata olive, and certain calcaceous rock. Acidity is medium, and so is the citrusy finish. 83+ pts.
