Adegas Gran Vinum 2007 Esencia Diviña Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- $22
With each vintage this estate improves, but at the top of the Albariño price tier it should be at least this good. There are lemon, almond and creamy aromas preceding apple, pear and melon flavors. The finish is clean, a little dusty and shows a hint of cider. Intricate enough, with fine overall balance.

Adegas Gran Vinum 2011 Esencia Diviña Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- $23
Apple and other white fruit aromas come with hints of sea foam and clam shell. The palate is tight, mineral-driven and citric, with some spritz. Flavors of apple and pithy citrus lead to a long, speedy finish, with generous acidity.

- Online Exclusive
- $27
For a 2010, this is holding form. It smells mature but fresh, with plenty of sea influence and white fruit aromas. It feels nice, lifted and lively, with lemon, citrus and green apple flavors. A pinch of pithy bitterness infiltrates the finish, but overall this is a fine Albariño to drink very soon.

Adegas Gran Vinum 2008 Esencia Diviña Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- $23
Slightly dusty, spicy and cider-like on the nose, with a tight palate holding nectarine, melon and apple flavors. It’s fairly exact in terms of mouthfeel, while the finish is clean and reflects well on the wine. Drink now.

Adegas Gran Vinum 2008 Gran Vinum Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- Online Exclusive
- $27
More familiar and less unusual than prior vintages. This wine deals typical, upright lemon, lime and tropical fruit aromas backed by green apple and lemon-based flavors. With good acidity and an even keel, it is a solid, fresh, dry Albariño that should not disappoint. Imported by Grapes of Spain.

Adegas Gran Vinum 2010 Esencia Diviña Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- $23
Crisp and neutral in style, from nose to tail. The bouquet is firm and condensed, with nothing too floral or blowsy to latch onto. In the mouth, it’s tight as a drum, with limited green apple flavors and a drip of honey. Well dressed but nothing fancy or overly flavorful.

Adegas Gran Vinum 2011 Mar de Viñas Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
Minerally and tight on the nose, this has a modest level of white fruit and flower aromas. It feels angular and light, with tangy acids pushing lemon and pineapple flavors. Crisp but lean on the finish.

Adegas Gran Vinum 2006 Esencia Diviña Albariño (Rías Baixas)
- $19
A heavier, sweeter style with cider-like aromas followed by apple and lime flavors. In the mouth, this is a more citric wine that may go well with shellfish. It’s sturdy and zesty, but not that evolved. Tasted twice, with this note reflecting the better of the two bottles.
