93 POINTS: Wine Direct Tasting Team

''It is well known that Rias Baixas offers the world one of the most exciting and vibrant still white wines 'Albariño' Its deeply traditional character provides a unique profile''
- Jancis Robinson.com

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%

Bubblicious

Delicious white wines!

I haven’t tried every bottle in this selection yet, however, so far they are all very tasty. I’m a Chardonnay lover, always on the look out for a dryish not sweet wine and these are just right for me. An excellent mixed case and we’ll priced.

Rich and fruity

This was a very nice surprise in Wine Direct’s very welcome Plenty Under $20 category. Beautifully fruity, rich and smooth. Often the Plenty Under $20 range is a little light for the depth I like but I will definitely be reordering this one.

A great summer wine… elegant and a fine balance of lighter fruit and delicate acidity with a nice dry finish. Very drinkable with or without food. A nice change from our usual unoaked French Chardonnay

Delicious light, crisp unoaked wine with citrus notes. Perfect summer wine … very drinkable with or without food.
