Kentia Albarino 2023

Tasting Profile | Bright pale gold with greenish reflections, this vibrant Albariño captivates with intense aromas of white peach, fresh citrus, and green apple complemented by delicate floral notes and subtle hints of sea spray. The palate delivers crisp acidity carrying flavors of ripe pear, lemon zest, and juicy nectarine, underscored by distinctive saline minerality reflective of its Atlantic coastal origins. Medium-bodied with remarkable freshness, the wine finishes clean and persistent with lingering notes of stone fruit and a refreshing saline touch.

Winemaker Notes | Produced in the heart of Rías Baixas, Kentia Albariño exemplifies the region's distinctive terroir-driven approach. The grapes are carefully harvested by hand from sustainably farmed vineyards on traditional pergola systems, allowing optimal ripening while maintaining the variety's natural acidity. Following gentle pressing, the must undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, preserving the grape's delicate aromatic profile and vibrant character.

Vintage Notes | The 2023 vintage in Galicia presented ideal conditions for Albariño, with balanced temperatures and moderate rainfall creating perfect ripening conditions. The resulting wine shows exceptional aromatic intensity and purity, with harmonious acidity and concentration that beautifully expresses the vintage's favorable weather patterns.
