Condes de Albarei have produced Albarino that has secured an international demand (having 'been seen' in Madrid's Tapas Bars in the 90's.) Not unlike a Chablis in style it has a lively freshness and dry minerality with a creamy finish. The Albariño grape variety thrives on its cool coastal location and produces fresh elegant wines with a captivating floral bouquet and peach flavours. It is believed that Albariño is a distant relative to the Riesling grape with which it shares a fresh racy acidity.
The Condes de Albarei winery was formed in 1988 by 400 partners that own 170 hectares of vineyards in the Salnes Valley of the Galician region in north west Spain. The region has a specific microclimate influenced by the Atlantic Ocean, with mild winters and warm summers, perfect for growing the native Albarino grape.
