Headed by eminent winemaker Eulogio Pomares, this Albariño, made in waving distance of Spain, on the lower slopes of the Minho River, was the stand-out old world white at a panel tasting with our Premier Crew. The position of the vineyards means the the soil is slightly heavier and the diurnal temperature difference more gentle leading to a rounder, more supple style of Albariño that nevertheless has all the grape's zesty, citrus and grassy appeal.

'Although translated as “the hare and the tortoise”, thankfully this vegan wine contains neither. Created on the Spanish-Portuguese border, this has all the characteristics you’d expect from an albariño – fresh zest, lively citrus, aromatic herbs – without being overly tannic, making this a good value for money. A young white that’s great to drink now."
