Adega Martínez Serantes 2005 Dona Rosa Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- Editors' Choice
- $17
A powerful wine with forceful minerality. Still, it’s loaded with expressive fruit that falls squarely into the pineapple/mango category. Finishes crisp but precise, with notes of wet stone and lingering nips of green apple and peach.

Adega Martínez Serantes 2006 Dona Rosa Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- $18
This is showing mineral, saline, spice, peach and melon—all good signs. The palate leans toward tropical, with pineapple leading the way. With no surprises, it finishes clean and a touch fleshy. An excellent Albariño that’s maturing quickly. Drink now.

Adega Martínez Serantes 2007 Dona Rosa Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- $25
Admittedly we are tasting this later than we’d prefer, but for an ’07 it is still showing vital signs and attractive aromas of sugared pastry, candied apple and lemon-lime. The palate is mostly fresh, though not as lively as it probably was nine months ago, while the flavors of 7Up and peach are refreshing. Drink immediately or wait until the 2008 arrives.

Adega Martínez Serantes 2005 Alba Rosa Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- $15
A lower selection of grapes than the winery’s superior Dona Rosa results in a fresh wine full of apple, nectarine and minerality. Not particularly complex but goes down nicely. Classic everyday Albariño.

Adega Martínez Serantes 2006 Alba Rosa Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- $15
Not a bad value in the Albariño category. Alba Rosa is the second wine from Martinez Serantes, and it’s yellowish in color, with a pineapple and pear nose. Solid in the mouth, with touches of apple, white peach and lime. Proper acidity keeps it fresh.
