From Lagar de Cervera in Spain's Rías Baixas DO, the Albariño 2024 is a refined 100% Albariño sourced from 35 different parcels in the O Rosal and Salnés sub-zones, featuring granitic and alluvial soils that provide texture and salinity. Hand-harvested grapes from the balanced 2024 vintage—characterized by mild summer with intermittent rainfall for gradual ripening—undergo cold maceration under gas before fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, with no malolactic fermentation to maintain vibrant natural acidity, and lees aging until bottling to enhance freshness. Owned by La Rioja Alta S.A. since 1988, this production yields a clean, bright greenish-yellow wine with remarkable purity and approachability.
Tasting Notes A pure and fragrant Albariño with aromas of white fruits like apple and pear, floral and citrus notes, delivering an intense, fresh palate with persistent saline minerality and bright acidity. The nose is pure and fragrant, with aromas of white fruit such as apple and pear, along with floral and citrus notes typical of Albariño. On the palate, it is intense, fresh, and well-balanced, with a persistent, saline-accented finish.
Awards and Accolades The 2024 Albariño earned 90 points from James Suckling for its pure and gastronomic style.
Serving and Cellaring Serve chilled at 8-10°C without decanting to preserve vibrancy. Ideal as an aperitif or paired with seafood, fish, salads, or Asian dishes like sushi. Enjoy now through 2028, during which it will develop subtle honeyed notes.
