Description
Albariño is a relatively thick-skinned white grape that thrives in northwest Spain and Portugal. It produces wines that, at their best (like this example), are rich and gently spicy, with ripe notes of peach, green apple, and even tropical fruit. Crucially, these wines always have a wonderful acidity and a slight saline note.
Sucesores de Benito Santos is less than a kilometre from the coast, bringing freshness to the wines made here. This is a bright, refreshing and crisp wine, and as Antonio Porto, the Winemaker at Benito Santos, says, “This is a wine to enjoy on any occasion.”
Tasting note
Bright and invigorating, this Albariño captures the essence of its Atlantic origins. Aromas of delicate florals lead into ripe peach, crisp apple and fresh citrus notes. On the palate, it is supremely refreshing yet surprisingly textured, combining a full, rounded mouthfeel with vibrant, mouthwatering acidity. A distinctive saline, mineral character runs through the wine, evoking sea spray and coastal freshness. Lees ageing lends subtle creaminess without masking the pure, fruit-forward profile. Clean, precise and energising, this is a beautifully balanced Albariño that is both crisp and expressive.
