A smash hit with British drinkers, Albariño has become ubiquitous, with some slightly dreary examples on the shelves, so how lovely to find this well made example from the Val do Salnés in Rías Baixas, Albariño’s Galician coastal home. The nose entices with wafts of elderflower and sea-breeze salinity; the palate has juicy nectarine, balanced by vibrant lemon, with that distinctive salty character running through the wine like a spear. Perfect for a pint of prawns.
