67 Wine Somm Series Albarino Rias Baixas 2022 750ml Spain

67 Wine Somm Series Albariño — Rías Baixas, Galicia, Spain 2022

The 67 Wine Somm Series is our house label, built around one guiding principle: find the producers who over-deliver and put them in your glass at a price that makes you come back for more. For this Albariño, our sommelier Oscar Garcia Moncada sourced from Bodegas Chaves — an estate family that has been farming and making wine in Rías Baixas since the 1950s using only estate-grown grapes, with an attention to detail that is unrivaled in the appellation. Rías Baixas is Galicia’s flagship white wine region, Atlantic-influenced and defined by the salty, mineral character that makes Albariño one of the world’s great food wines. This is a perfect showcase of everything the appellation does best.

The nose is enticing and aromatic: pineapple, passionfruit, and tropical fruit lead the way, with white peach and green apple following. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and beautifully fresh, with bright, crisp acidity, green apple, kiwi, and white peach, and a distinctive saline mineral note on the finish that signals true Atlantic Galicia character. The finish is sensational and lingering — this is Albariño as it should be.

“Bodegas Chaves has been making wines since the 1950s using only estate-grown grapes. Their attention to detail is unrivaled — and this Albariño is a perfect showcase of Rías Baixas at its finest.”
