A true expression of the Atlantic coast, Orballo Albariño 2023 hails exclusively from estate-grown vineyards in the O Rosal subregion of Rías Baixas. This vibrant vintage benefited from an early harvest following a warm, wet spring and a balanced summer—resulting in a wine that is both fresh and aromatic. Citrus, pear, and apricot take centre stage on the palate, with floral and saline aromas on the nose. The finish is long, clean, and mineral-driven, underscored by a crisp Atlantic freshness.
Aged for six months on lees in a thoughtful trio of vessels—stainless steel, concrete egg, and ceramic—this Albariño displays beautiful tension, layered texture, and remarkable precision.
Food Pairing:
Perfect with seafood platters, grilled octopus, prawns, or richer white fish. Also a fine match for creamy cheeses, foie gras, chicken paella, and pasta with a light lemon butter sauce.
