ALBA MARTÍN ALBARIÑO 2023

Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"Vivid straw-yellow green colour. Bright and shiny. Intense and elegant aromas with hints of white stone fruits and white flowers. The proximity to the sea gives the wine its freshness and saltiness and the granitic soils enhance its natural minerality. On the palate, the wine is rounded and full-bodied, with a light petillance that adds to its vivacious sense of freshness, and an impressive persistence on the finish.

Alba Martín is a reflection of its land, the Val do Salnés. Young and fresh, with intense and elegant lactic aromas with hints of white stone fruit and flowers. On the palate, the wine is rounded with an impressive persistence and sense of freshness on the finish."

"A Spaniard among the Kiwis, this beautiful example has lots of green peach and floral aromas on the nose alongside delicate white blossoms. The acid through the palate is racy and bright giving the wine a wonderful freshness and presence."

Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS (2022 Vintage)
"A refreshing, aromatic and enticing bouquet of fresh white fleshed fruits from nectarine to pear, some peach and crisp apple. Delicious on the palate with a satin texture and core flavours of sea air and white fleshed fruit, there’s a saline quality and fleshy mouthfeel. Acidity layers in a crisp contrast, a wine with appeal and immediately drinkability. Best enjoyed from day of purchase through 2026."

5 Stars Michael Cooper (2019 Vintage)
"From Galicia, in Spain's north-west, this vigorous, medium-bodied wine is full of personality. Vibrantly fruity, it has strong peachy flavours, a slightly salty streak and a dry, lasting finish. Delicious now."
