Discover the elegance and complexity of Lagar de Fornelos 'Lindeiros' Albarino from the renowned Rias Baixas region in Galicia, Spain. Crafted by Lagar de Cervera, a benchmark producer and subsidiary of La Rioja Alta S.A., this wine is the result of meticulous vineyard management and state-of-the-art winemaking. Sourced exclusively from the distinguished Troviscoso estate in Cambados, this Albarino epitomises the unique maritime terroir of the region. The vineyard's granite-based soils, combined with refreshing sea breezes, allow the grapes to develop an expressive aromatic profile and a delicate saline character. The wine is matured on fine lees across a mix of French oak barrels, a concrete egg, and stainless steel tanks, resulting in superb texture, complexity, and balance.
