Bodegas Gallegas Vinabade Albarino

Pale straw in colour. The bouquet is youthful and vibrantly aromatic, combining tangerine, jasmine and grassy aromas. The palate brings vibrant zesty acidity with juicy grapefruit and white peach notes, leading to a refreshing finish. ‘Sentidiño’ is a Galician word meaning common sense.

Bodegas Gallegas, situated in the Salnés Valley, is owned and run by brother and sister Manuel and Myriam Vazquez. The Galician winemaker, Carlos Blanco, has worked in the area for twenty-five years and understands the idiosyncratic and patchwork nature of the region’s vineyards. He works closely with 250 growers who farm 120 hectares, supplementing Gallegas’ own 140 hectares in the Condado do Tea, Val do Salnés and Ribeira do Ulla subzones. Each plot of Albariño is vinified separately, this allows Carlos to choose from a myriad of different micro-climates that he then blends to produce a stylistically consistent wine.
