One of Xurxo’s top single-vineyard bottlings, this comes from 40yo vines planted right next to the ocean in a sandy clay weathered out from granite. Aged on the fine lees in stainless steel tanks with regular batonnage. Wild yeast and low sulphur. Top class Albarino.

Notes on the producer

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.
