Albarino “Albamar” is literally a sip of the ocean, a splendid Galician nectar endowed with a saline texture of true excellence. Bodegas Albamar tells us through its territorial liquids about a region with immense winemaking potential like Galicia, where the Mediterranean climate meets the Atlantic Ocean. The result is marine liquids, often with notable savory length, and almost always produced from the prince of local white grape varieties, namely Albarino, which also has surprising potential for aging. In the vineyard, no chemical or synthetic substances are used, and in the cellar, a philosophy is followed where vigilant care is preferred over intervention. The style of the winery, therefore, while dedicated to rigor and millimetric precision, is devoid of any superstructures or manipulations. Adamantine purity.
The wine “Albamar” is obtained from pure Albarino grapes, sourced from vineyards located above the Atlantic Ocean that rest on sandy soils of granitic origin. In the vineyard, the dictates of organic agriculture are followed to preserve the integrity of soil and plants, and in the cellar, the process continues consistently, with spontaneous alcoholic fermentations and without carrying out malolactic fermentation. The liquid ages for 8 months on the fine lees in steel tanks and large 20 hl barrels and undergoes no filtration before bottling.
“Albamar” Albarino presents itself in the glass with an intense and lively straw-yellow hue. The olfactory impact is already akin to a dive into the ocean as it is characterized by iodized bursts and briny breezes, yet integrated with citrus zest and golden apple. However, it is in the tasting that the liquid shows all its strength, driven by a truly remarkable structure of salt and freshness. It fades into balsamic returns and, just to change things up, on a salty trail that immediately invites another sip. Everyone to the sea with this magnum.
