Albamar Albariño O Sebal 2023
Rías Baixas, Galicia, SpainXurxo Alba's family has been farming and making Albariño in Rïas Baixas' O Salnés subregion for generations. It wasn't until Xurxo finished his enology studies that the Alba family started bottling and commercializing their wines in 2006 under his direction. The Alba family owns 2.5 hectares and sources approximately 10 hectares throughout the Atlantic-influenced region. This organically farmed albariño comes from a single sandy soiled plot, vinified native in stainless, where it remains for 10 months on lees. There is no SO2 used in the O Sebal cuvée. This certainly leaves an impact, with alluring anise weaving through bright green apple, starfruit, and white grapefruit, kissed with wild lime and running long on the slender palate. Subtle and shining, this is an exemplary example.Tasted: 03 October 2024Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $45.00 | 750ml | private wine stores |
