Adegas D'Altamira 2007 Selección Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $29
A delicious wine that’s entirely impressive in the way it delivers smooth, subtle citrus and honey aromas in front of a generous but controlled palate of tangerine, apple, lemon and spice. A luxurious, smooth experience, with a sexy mouthfeel and finely integrated acidity. Expensive for Albariño, but fewer than 3,000 cases were produced.

Adegas D'Altamira 2006 Brandal Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- $15
This Albariño grows on you right away. The wine starts out shy and clean, almost as if it were neutral. But as it opens you’ll see that citrus, saline and tropical fruit flavors emerge. By the time it’s fully unraveled the wine is smooth as glass, comfortable and just right for drinking now.

Adegas D'Altamira 2005 Brandal Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- $15
A little weighty, with ripe apple and peach aromas. Fairly succulent in the mouth, with apple and citrus flavors that are both sweet and a touch chewy. Some pith on the finish adds complexity and overall you can’t knock the wine’s character. Drink now.

Adegas D'Altamira 2005 Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- $25
There’s not much difference between this wine and the label’s less expensive Brandal. This is a bit richer, with chunky melon aromas and peach melba flavors. But it may suffer a bit from additional ripeness and lower acidity. For best results, get at it fast.

Adegas D'Altamira 2007 Brandal Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
A little weighty, with mild canned-fruit notes to the nose. The mouth is wide and round, with cantaloupe, orange and green melon flavors. Then it turns pithy and peppery on the finish, something Albariño is known for. Good and honest, but just a touch bitter at the end.

Adegas D'Altamira 2006 Selección Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- $25
Smooth and friendly on the nose, with easy melon and peach aromas that give you confidence in the wine’s core character. The palate is nothing special; there’s citrus and pineapple before a medium-long finish. Solid but not the most expressive Albariño out there.
