Overview The Wine
Xurxo Alba’s family has been farming and making Albariño in Rïas Baixas O Salnés region, near the Atlantic Ocean, for generations (Alba+mar). It wasn’t until Xurxo finished his oenology studies that the Alba family started bottling and commercializing their wines in 2006. The Alba family owns 2.5 hectares, and sources approximately 10 hectares throughout the region.
Albamar is one of only a handful (2%!) of domaines in the region using natural yeasts for their fermentation, which has a dramatic impact on both the aromatics and flavour of albariño, giving the wines much more depth, complexity and interest.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
Albamar is the flagship wine of the winery, pure Albariño sourced from different plots mostly from sandy soils in the Val do Salnés region, a wine that reflects the characteristic of the terroir where it comes from and remains faithful to the house style, clean, fresh and vibrant wines. Fermented in stainless steel vats with native yeasts where it rests for approximately 5 months with its lees.
Clean and fresh, lively floral and tropical notes with attractive touches of citric aromas. Balance and freshness on the palate, citrus-fruit flavors, good acidity that gives a refreshing mouth feel and a long length marked by a saltiness feeling.
