Sal da Terra Albariño

Some of the very best Albariño we've ever tasted. 

Look no further for proof that Spain is making some of the most exciting wine in the world. This Albariño is made by Eulogio Pomares from Zárate, in partnership with the wine's UK importer Ben Henshaw, writer Jamie Goode and glassware importer Daniel Primack, which isn't a bad start in life for a new wine. The wine is fermented and aged (for 12 months) in a mix of chestnut wood barrels and concrete vessels, softening some of Albariño's high acidity without resorting to the vanilla and baking spice notes more typical of oak. Pure fruit with a silken texture, and just awesome.

Albariño

Albariño

Albariño wine is a high-quality, light-bodied white that grows mostly in Spain and Portugal. It’s loved for its high acidity, refreshing citrus flavours, dry taste, and subtle saltiness. Albariño is a fantastic choice for pairing with all kinds of seafood dishes.

On the nose, expect aromas of nectarine, lime, and grapefruit, with subtle hints of honeysuckle and occasionally beeswax. On the palate, Albariño wines have a weighty mid-palate and mouth-watering acidity that finishes with salinity and sometimes a subtle bitter note (like green almond or citrus pith).

Most Albariño are drunk young and fresh however, due to the high acidity and phenolic structure (from the grape’s thick skins) it has incredible potential for ageing.
