Spain’s famed Rias Biazas, in the North West of Spain, does Albarino better than anyone. The soul of Albarino lies in the heart of the Salnés, sub-area of Rías Baixas. The climate is hot but with proximity to the Atlantic Ocean enabling a crucial cooling influence.
For lovers of crisp, dry, aromatic white wines with a little bit of texture and good concentration this ticks all the boxes, what more could you want! Pazo Cilleiro is intense, citrusy, elegant and stony-lime fresh. Fresh citrus and stone fruits with a roundness. Mineral finish. Peaches, nectarines, citrus and a hint of sea air and white blossom.
ABV: 11%
