The 2022 Albariño from Bodega Garzón is a vibrant expression of this classic variety, showcasing aromas of ripe stone fruits like peach and nectarine, complemented by fresh citrus notes. Fermented in stainless steel and aged on its lees for 3 to 6 months, it offers a crisp, mineral-driven palate with a refreshing acidity and a subtle saline finish. This dry, medium-bodied wine balances its fruity sweetness with a mouthwatering, chalky texture that makes it perfect for seafood dishes, Asian cuisine, or a fresh tuna salad.

Pure stone fruit with green apples, nectarines and chalk on the nose, following through to a dry and crisp palate. A little light but quite drinkable with a saline undertone in the finish. Screw cap.

Overt, youthful with intense notes of peach, grapefruit, wild flowers. Sweet apple on the mid-palate that’s balanced by pungent citrus acids.

Fermented in stainless-steel and concrete tanks, 3–6 months on the lees. pH 3.18, RS 3 g/l.
Classic Albariño nose of apricot and peach but also a stone-dust minerality and a vibrant citrus freshness. Chalky texture enhances the freshness. Mouth-watering, salty, long. A great example of the variety but indelibly marked by its origin.
