Lagar de Costa - Albarino Rias Baixas D.O. 750ML 2023 (13% ABV)

Located in Val do Salnés, in the heart of Rías Baixas Spain, Lagar de Costa is a family-run winery where three generations of winemakers are dedicated to Albarino. With the new generation at the helm, Sonia and her brother Manuel are making strides with innovations while preserving the essence of the estate.

At Lagar de Costa, the vines grow near the coast, on the lower reaches of the river Umia at an altitude of 0-30 meters above sea level near the town of Cambados. The soil is composed of mostly granite, adding complexity and minerality throughout their wines. The pergola-trained vine system suits the conditions of the region perfectly: high humidity, mild temperatures, and lots of rain throughout the year. The aim is always to obtain a wine that expresses its unique characteristics and captures the essence of soil and maritime influence.

Estate-grown old vines on a coastal parcel. The soil is composed
of sandy loam and rises to 100 feet from sea-level. Hand-harvested from 30 year-old vines. Fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks. 

Light lemon in color with strong aromas of peach,
mango, mint, anise and white flowers. On the palate,
this Albariño is racy and concentrated with an
excellent balance of round, textured mouthfeel and
vibrant acidity, which allows the pristine fruit and
herbal flavors to mix with a strong mineral core and
flow into an energetic, enticing finish. A perfect wine
to enjoy with grilled seafood.
