Abellio Albarino 2024 chalmers The vines here are now

The vines here are now 20 years old

but not at all heavy

produce the complex yet refined beauty that is Flaccianello

sporting a certain modicum of tannin

Ruby grapefruit and spices

Abellio Albarino 2024 chalmers The vines here are nowAbellio sits in the Salnes Valley, the prized subregion of Rias Baixas, and this albario comes from vines seven to twenty years old, rooted in granitic clays and sands. This was fermented and aged in stainless to preserve the bright fruit, which it has accomplished well. Guava, green pear, grapefruit, apricot, custard floods a juicy palate, smartly gripped by that distinctive gravel hum, and finishing with a bitter almond bite.
