Typical Albarino aromas of apple, pear, and white flowers are pretty as they set up a round and fresh palate with medium-level acidity. A pleasant mix of orange, apple, and melon flavors are nothing but solid on a lasting finish that shows a touch of minerality

The Bodegas Chavez has been producing wine from their family-owned estate since 1955 and they were instrumental in the region being recognized as a designated growing region. The Family estate is in theVal do Salnes, which is said to be the birthplace of Albariño, right against the Atlantic coast. The cool sea breeze that rolls off the ocean keeps the grapes cool through their growing period which maintains a bright freshness.
