Bodegas Albamar 2020 Albamar Tinto
Spanish Red
Caíño Tinto, Espadeiro and Mencía form this red from Rías Baixas. The varieties grow near the mouth of the Umia River in the Ría de Arousa, among gentle relief, sandy and clay soils and a constant sea breeze. Fermentation uses native yeast in stainless steel, where the wine matures for six months and completes malolactic fermentation. It then rests for three months in oak. Alcohol is eleven percent.
Forjas del Salnés 2021 Goliardo Tintos de Mar Rías Baixas
Spanish Red
Black pepper, herbs and flowers appear with a wild character. The palate is medium-bodied, with supple tannins, fine silky texture, freshness and a long finish with a salty note. Caíño Tinto, Loureiro, Espadeiro and Sousón form the blend. The grapes come from old vines planted on pebbly, sandy and granitic soils. Maturation lasts twelve months in oak barrels and large foudres.
Albamar 2020 Edición Especial Nai Mencía Ribeira Sacra
Spanish Red
Deep red-purple, with ripe black fruit and dried herbs giving the nose richness and lift in equal measure. Soft and creamy on the palate, it balances red-fruit compote with savoury detail and well-judged acidity. Supple rather than heavy, the texture stays generous before a fresh, composed and gently herbal finish.
Albamar 2021 Albino Blanc de Noirs
Spanish White
Pear and wild strawberry meet tart cranberry, citrus peel and a touch of pepper. The palate is bone-dry and energetic, with bright acidity, pronounced minerality and a saline, gently bitter finish. This unusual blanc de noirs benefits from air and pairs well with grilled fish, shellfish or savoury rice dishes.
