Vina Nora Albarino Rias Baixas 2024

92 Points, Vinous

This is a juicier, more generous style of Albariño: still with all that beautiful natural acidity and minerality you love, but with a little less salt and a lot more lush, ripe fruit. Think white peach, pear, honeysuckle, and white flowers with a full, elegant palate that’s both food-friendly and dangerously easy to drink. It’s every bit as good as it sounds.

I tasted this beauty a few weeks back and loved it from the first sip. Textbook Albariño, even if it’s done slightly different. Antonio Galloni at Vinous gave it 92 points and nailed it: “Generous and indulgent, with elevated vibrant freshness, showing the enveloping, succulent palate typical of Condado wines- slightly hedonistic yet balanced.”
