Atalier Rías Baixas Albariño

Can Albariño get much better? I don’t think so. Lime skin, orange rind, mineral, sourdough. Look out y’all. This can’t stay affordable for long.

This was our white wine selection for dinner at Corvino Supper Club. Popped and poured, no formal notes due to the setting but I recall the distinct kiwi fruit note with some melon and lemon. The wine was like an ocean breeze. Zippy with an abundance of minerals. Killer with the seafood on the table and paired well with everything at the table.

Albariño but fuller and creamier. Chablis-like.

Lime skin, Green apples and subtle sourdough

Wonderful nose! Smells like I’m standing on a breezy ocean coast. Salted Meyer lemon flavors that wrap around the tongue and impart a late arriving mouth watering acidity. Terrific with trout.

Ever wanted to taste a high-end Albariño. Well. This is it. Vegetal like Grüner, full bodied and tropical like Viognier. Will ponder this wine for dayzzzz.

Salty ocean spray with petrichor and hints of honeysuckle. Polished and smooth with beautiful length. Top notch!

So good.

Sneaky delicious. Doesn't jump up and announce itself. Just one of those wines that you realize how great it was once you're almost done with the bottle. Salty citrus diamond edge cut. Crazy good value.

This wine is firing with electricity and deep mineral cut. It’s a little much at the moment but it’ll pair with just about any food in front of it. Interested to see what happens with this stuff in the longer term, even 5 years. The stuff is so cheap that most will have a hard time keeping their bottles closed. Given a little time to integrate all that energy I imagine this will stand up to some of the legends of Chablis (like super solid village or straight premier cru from a dope producer). Lucky to have a handful of these. Get yours before people find out what’s up.
