Bodegas La Val, La Val Albariño, Rias Baixas

This Albariño displays a pale straw-yellow hue with bright greenish reflections. The nose is pure, precise, and aromatic, showcasing a vibrant medley of stone fruits (apricot, apple), tropical nuances (pineapple), and fresh herbal notes (bay leaf, fennel). These are layered with delicate citrus undertones (grapefruit) and a refined saline touch. On the palate, it is elegantly structured, well-balanced, and energetic, revealing a lively interplay of fruit, citrus, and Atlantic herbs. The long, crisp finish is marked by a distinct saline minerality and a subtle bitter edge, adding depth and character.

Bodegas La Val, La Val Albariño, Rias Baixas 2023	91 James Suckling Typical albarino with seashells, chalk, nectarines and sea salt. Salty, flavorful and not complex, but this is a really gastronomic white for seafood. Drink now.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
