Zarate Albariño 2024

Val do Salnés, Rías Baixas, Galicia, SpainFounded in 1707, the family owned Zarate estate is located in Rias Baixas' lauded Val do Salnés subregion. Their sloping, weathered granite vineyards are translated via albariño, a grape intrinsically associated with the estate. 7th generation Eulogio Pomares runs this historic bodega today, farming almost fully biodynamically. This is from 30 year old vines, fermented native, and with three months on the lees in stainless. Perfumed peach, quince, and pear glide through the medium palate, lit with a buzzy granitic grip that sails this through a lingering saline finish. Such energy and vibrancy in this benchmark albariño.Tasted: 08 October 2025Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
