Dear Artisans,

These three are among the finest Albarino wines made—it's no surprise they're also our all-time best sellers.

  • Pazo Senorans is a Master Sommelier classroom darling and benchmark.

  • Granbazan Etiqueta Ambar has mastered Albarino for 40+ years, and the reason this varietal is on the world stage. This is pure free-run juice, aged on lees for 8 months .

  • La Cana is from Spain's most important importer Jorge Ordonez (think of him as a Kermit Lynch) and The New York Times said this is “highly deserving of your attention.”

Don't think for a second these are light, simple table whites.

You'll be amazed at how they can satisfy you the same way a fine white Burgundy does, delivering seemingly endless layers and saline nuance.
The Facts & Research for just the Granbazan Ambar:

- Hand-harvested grapes from vines over 35 years old

- ONLY FREE-RUN JUICE* IN THIS BOTTLING

*The juice released by a pile of grapes as their skins split under their own weight, before they are mechanically pressed. With white wines, this initial juice is considered to be the highest quality since it has the least amount of contact with bitter elements in the pips, skins and stems. -Wine Spectator

- Aged on lees for 8 months.

- Only 1,000 cases imported

- The bottom line: this should cost double and tastes like gloriously ripe Summer peaches with mouth-watering sea salt and minerality.

"Apple blossom, fresh apricot, persimmon, waxed lemon, sea salt... Tangy, textured and saline. Vibrant and long."
93 Points, James Suckling
From the breathtaking & ancient region of Rias Baixas, Galicia, NW Spanish Coast
If you enjoy our:

  1. Exotic and unique Italian white producers, like Ottella and Terlano
  2. Elegant and mineral-driven selection of Sancerre, Chablis, White Burgundy in general

This will be your new favorite.

This wine is not a stranger to success:
Enjoy some of the best renditions of Spain's classic Albariño grape you'll find.

Salud!

2021 La Cana Albariño
Rias Baixas, Spain

92 Points - James Suckling:
"Fresh, bright and zesty with lime, nectarine and green apple. Some stones and green herbs, too. It shows excellent texture with lots of vibe coming from the tense and high-pitched acidity. Pure and pristine. Drink now." (June 2022)

91 Points - Jeb Dunnuck:
The 2021 La Caña is slightly fresher, with gorgeous citrus, tangerine, and lychee fruit as well as a medium-bodied, very pure, clean, vibrant style on the palate. It's another impeccably made, clean, crisp, juicy white that's going to shine with just about any food out there.

2020 Pazo Senorans Albariño
Rias Baixas, Spain

91+ Points - Robert Parker's WA:
"The 2020 Albariño is only starting to show a little complexity in a very complete year of good ripeness and balance. There is great purity and elegance here. It's 13.5% alcohol and comes though as very balanced and clean. It's still shy and should continue growing in bottle." - Luis Gutierrez (28th Feb 2022)
