2023 Viña Almirante Albariño Maccerato

100% Albariño from the prestigious Val do Salnés subzone of Rías Baixas. Hand harvested, destemmed, cold macerated and fermented in stainless steel to preserve freshness.

Tasting Notes

Saline and citrus on the nose. Medium bodied, incredibly bright, fresh and mineral but with some serious depth too. Preserved lemon, salted peach and wild green herbs. Zingy acidity and an impossibly long finish. Try it with fish grilled with garlic and green herbs.

About Viña Almirante

In 2000, a group of winegrowers dreamed of what is now Viña Almirante, a winery made up of 80 partners and families who live by and for wine.

We were inspired by the historical past of Portas (Galicia / Spain) and the legacy of the geographer Domingo Fontán, an illustrious ancestor of our region who allowed us to understand that from emotional cartography we could make blatantly personal wines.

Located in Portas (Galicia) in the Umia valley on the banks of the Chaín river, Vina Almirante sits in an enclave with its own geographical and meteorological conditions that largely mark the character of the vineyards. They also have a small percentage of vineyards in the heart of Val do Salnés, a reality that allows them to work with many possibilities to be able to vinify very personal wines. Portas, is synonymous with history, origin and culture. In the 12th century, history reveals that King Ferdinand II of León donated the first known Albariño plantation to the Cistercian monks, the ‘Paradisus’ estate, in Santa María de Portas.
