From Paco & Lola in Spain's Rías Baixas DO, the Follas Novas Albariño 2024 is a refined 100% Albariño sourced from the best vineyards in the Salnés subregion, considered the cradle of Albariño, on sandy loams that impart focused freshness and expressiveness. Hand-harvested grapes from the balanced 2024 vintage undergo fermentation in stainless steel over 3 weeks, remaining on fine lees until bottling to enhance texture while preserving varietal purity. Created by a cooperative of 428 growers formed in 2005 and using state-of-the-art technology, this production yields a clean, bright greenish-yellow wine with remarkable vibrancy.
Tasting Notes A fresh and zesty Rías Baixas Albariño with aromas of white stone fruits, white almond, herbs, and white pears, delivering a clean, healthy palate with notable acidity and flavors of apple, pear, and honeydew that finish short. 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 Follas Novas Albariño earned 91 points from James Suckling for its fresh white stone fruits, hints of white almond, herbs, and white pears with a clean, fresh palate and notable acidity.
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.
