"A gorgeous rendition of the variety, showing ripe apricot, fig, jasmine and lemon zest aromas, leading to a brilliantly focused palate offering excellent fruit purity backed by juicy acidity, finishing persistent and mouth-watering. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jan 2024

"Bright, even, pale straw yellow. The nose is delicate and pure, with aromas of stonefruit, guava, minerals and a hint of floral. Medium-bodied, aromas of peach and nectarine melded with guava, lemon sherbet and blossoms. The refined and chalky mouthfeel adorned the expressive, ripe fruit; crunchy acidity drives with carries to linearity. This Albarino shows the purity of ripe stonefruit, crisp acidity and a mineral-textured mouthfeel, lending a refreshing, persistent finish" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Feb 2024

"A refreshing, aromatic and enticing bouquet of fresh white fleshed fruits from nectarine to pear, some peach and crisp apple. Delicious on the palate with a satin texture and core flavours of sea air and white fleshed fruit, there’s a saline quality and fleshy mouthfeel. Acidity layers in a crisp contrast, a wine with appeal and immediately drinkability. Best enjoyed from day of purchase through 2026" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Jan 2024

Vivid straw-yellow green colour. Bright and shiny in the glass. Intense and elegant aromas with hints of white stone fruits and white flowers. The proximity to the sea gives the wine its freshness and saltiness and the granitic soils enhance its natural minerality. On the palate, the wine is rounded and full-bodied, with a light petillance that adds to its vivacious sense of freshness, and an impressive persistence on the finish.

Alba Martín is a reflection of its land, the Val do Salnés. Young and fresh, with intense and elegant lactic aromas with hints of white stone fruit and flowers. On the palate, the wine is rounded with an impressive persistence and sense of freshness on the finish.
