THE PRODUCER
Located in the Val do Salnes subzone of Rias Baixas, Bodegas Zarate is arguably
one of the area’s finest producers. Founded in the 1920s by Ernesto Zarate, the
estate has been instrumental in promoting quality wine production in the region
from the very beginning. The current winemaker, Eulogio Pomares, is Ernesto’s
grandson and studied winemaking in Bordeaux and Germany before returning to Rias
Baixas, in the early 2000s, to take over the family farm. Amongst other
improvements, Eulogio introduced organic farming and sustainable practices. In
1954, Ernesto Zarate along with three friends founded the Cambados Albarino
Festival, which today draws hundreds of people to the area each year.
THE WINE
Made from organically grown fruit, Zarate’s Albarino is a crisp and juicy white
wine with enticing stone fruit aromatics and stony minerality. Vinified in
stainless steel and with a short time of lees ageing, the texture is elegant and
velvety.

CRITICS SCORES
We choose our wines based on a range of criteria(seehow we choose our wines)of
which critic scores is justone. Rather than simply highlight the best score to
promote a wine, our average critic score is calculated from the scores provided
by several respected wine critics, who we follow for specific regions. They do
not represent all critic scores and, wherever possible, we try and give more
weight to more recent reviews. Where appropriate we consider market-based scores
like Global Wine Score or Wine Searcher Average scores.
As a rule, we look to offer wines that achieve a92/100average critic score or
better and frankly a lot of very good wines simply don’t make the cut. As a
high-end provider we want to reflect that positioning in the quality of wines we
offer. Such wines are only a tiny fraction of those generally on offer in the
market. We believe that an average score is a more conservative and
representative approach, but it is still subjective and only offered as a guide
to our customers, who will (and should) do their own research. We will add
individual critic scores to our website in the future.
