Albariño is the darling grape of Spain's modern whites. It excels in the NW corner, in Galicia's fine Rías Baixas vineyards. Taste why in this bright, crisp 2022 from our good friend Javier Murúa. Fresh lemon and apricot fruit, zingy yet rounded.
Tasting notes
Crisp, citrusy with stony minerality, a hint of apricot

Our Buyers have long been good friends with Javier Murúa - he makes our best-selling Rioja, Barón de Barbón. We were delighted when, a few years back, he decided to explore further afield and has set up a winery in Galicia's prized Riás Baixas region. It lies in the beautiful village of Meis, close to an ancient monastery. They work closely with 250 growers, tending 80 hectares of vines, all in the Salnés region, to obtain the highest-quality fruit. Albariño is a top-performing variety of Spain. It produces the breezy, citrus freshness that Sauvignon drinkers adore, yet has a bit more weight, length and structure to satisfy. This wine is thoroughly delicious right now. Terrific on its own or enjoy with fish or light noodle dishes.
