Alcohol: 12.0 %
Grape(s): 100 % Albariño
Location: Rías Baixas, Galicia, Spain
Tasting Notes: Pale straw with green highlights. Aromas of lime zest, white peach, green apple, and saline minerality. The palate is bright and zesty with lively acidity, flavors of citrus, pear, and a touch of stone fruit, finishing clean with a hint of almond bitterness and oceanic salinity.
Notes: Produced to emphasize freshness and varietal purity; grapes are typically harvested early for acidity and fermented in stainless steel to preserve aromatic lift. Light lees contact adds texture without masking the crisp fruit.
Food Pairing: Excellent with shellfish (especially oysters and prawns), grilled fish, ceviche, light seafood pasta, and tapas featuring olives or citrus-forward flavors.
Winery Story: Altos de Cristimil crafts approachable Rías Baixas Albariños that highlight Atlantic influence and cool-climate freshness, focusing on careful vineyard selection and minimal-intervention winemaking to showcase regional character.
