Very nice lemon/lime, tart apple and pear, underripe peach and white flower on the nose. Some saline and sea breeze as well. High acid, crushed wet rocks on the palate. Crispy and clear. Some bitterness on the finish.

Robust and fresh Albariño 2013 from Val do Salnés. Oxidative aromas, honey and minerality describes this standard but nice Rias Baixas.

Much better than I had expected and perfect with my clams in garlic butter. Really nice layers of lemon cream and minerals.

Relatively nice Galician dominated by aromatic profile and high acid. Some Sauv Blanc-notes on the end.

Pretty honeysuckle and stone fruit nose. Surprising viscosity on the palate

Good Albariño. A bit tart when it is cold and first opened. Needs to sit to open up a bit. Lemon, very slight salinity
