Bodegas Castro Martin Albariño 2021
About
Our Family Estate wine is made from 100% Albariño grapes, selected from our very best vineyards sites and with vines that have an average age of around 50 years. The delicate albariño grape gives this wine its typical aromatic intensity, whilst the granite and quartz subsoils of our home vineyards add a mineral backbone and tight structure, giving the wine great finesse and excellent balance.
Terroir
Rias Baixas, Spain
Vinification
After manual harvesting, our very best, hand-selected grapes undergo a short, gentle pressing in pneumatic presses. The wine is then fermented in stainless steel employing strict temperature control. After an extensive period of lees ageing (min 8 months), our Family Estate is bottles directly from the tank without further intervention.
Tasting Notes
With a distinct salty minerality on the nose, and an array of pure, clean, limpid white fruit aromas. The palate almost shimmers with tang and vibrancy, and although it has a steely precision, it is balanced by fruit with a peachy pear-like quality and backed by a vivid streak of lemon and mineral acidity.
Food Pairing
Excellent aperitif, but complex enough to accompany an entire meal. Shines with seafood or spicy cuisine.
