About this wine

69 Arrobas is one of Xurxo Alba’s most distinctive Albariños, made from selected old parcels planted on the granitic sands of the Val do Salnés. The vines are exceptionally old and ungrafted, giving naturally low yields and concentrated fruit while preserving the Atlantic freshness that defines Rías Baixas. Whole-bunch pressing and spontaneous fermentation are followed by an unusually long élevage in stainless steel on the fine lees, adding texture without introducing oak. The resulting wine is intensely mineral and vertical, with white flowers and citrus over a rich, saline palate and a clean, persistent finish.

Tasting Note

Critics describe white flowers and citrus over pronounced mineral aromas, followed by a taut, fresh and saline palate with rich texture and a long clean finish.

Bodegas Albamar

Albamar is a cult producer of Albariño in Rías Baixas, working vines very close to the Atlantic. Salinity, citrus and tension define the whites, which often see extended lees contact and sometimes a touch of oak. The wines are vibrant, textural and deeply expressive of their coastal terroir.
