Why Cave selected it

A precise, single‑parcel Albariño that marries Atlantic salinity with clay‑derived texture; a distinctive, artisanal expression of Rías Baixas.

About the wine

100% Albariño from a single vineyard with clay and sand soils. Hand harvested with spontaneous yeast fermentation of whole cluster in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts. Beautiful expression of Albarino.

About Bodegas Albamar

Xurxo Alba’s family has been farming and making Albariño in Rïas Baixas O Salnés region, near the Atlantic Ocean, for generations (Alba+mar). It wasn’t until Xurxo finished his oenology studies that the Alba family started bottling and commercializing their wines in 2006. The Alba family owns 2.5 hectares, and sources approximately 10 hectares throughout the region. Albamar is one of only a handful (2%!) of domaines in the region using natural yeasts for their fermentation, which has a dramatic impact on both the aromatics and flavour of albariño, giving the wines much more depth, complexity and interest.
