Lagar de Costa Albarino Rias Baixas 2023 750ml

Expert Review - Vintage 2023

The Wine Advocate 91+ Points | The young 2023 Albariño is varietal and has the imprint of the sandy and granite soils. It has good ripeness and 13% alcohol, keeping very good acidity and freshness (pH 3.29 and 7.46 grams of acidity), with a bittersweet twist in the finish. It's clean, round and tasty. They produce 50,000 bottles and do different bottlings of the same blend, keeping the wine in stainless steel with the lees. 

Tim Atkin 91 Points | Sourced from the Costa family's ocean-influenced vineyards in Castrelo, using grapes from vineyards with an average age of 45 years, this is typically mealy, sappy and floral, with good texture, a salty undertone and vivid lemon and lime fruit.
