Unlike TG’s Abadía de San Campio Albariño, this wine also features Loureira and Caiño Blanco, and it’s more interesting in the long run. Aromas of mango and pineapple are sweet and pungent, while the palate is round, leesy and plump, with green melon, apple, vanilla and creamy notes. Fleshy on the finish, but with good acidity. Will accompany shellfish of all sorts.

Lemon, apple blossom and honey aromas make for a correct, attractive bouquet. Meanwhile, the palate is typically crisp and vibrant, with cutting acids that push the pineapple and citrus flavors to a point. Long and exact on the finish, and overall there’s not an ounce of flab to this streamlined white.

Clean, light and floral, with a blossomy outlook that’s well followed by flavors of lime, pineapple and kiwi. Fresh as a stream in the mouth, with a long, clean finish. A tightly wound wine with Albariño, Loureiro and Caiño Blanco.
