Vina Costeira Meu Albarino 2024
Introduction
Hailing from the historic D.O. Ribeiro in Galicia, Northwest Spain, this expressive white wine represents a unique departure from the more common Albariños of neighboring Rías Baixas. Viña Costeira, founded in 1968, is a benchmark cooperative winery that played a pivotal role in recovering native Galician grape varieties. The "Meu" range meaning "Mine" or "One's Own" in the Galician language reflects a philosophy of personal dedication and a deep connection to the land. While Ribeiro is traditionally famous for its Treixadura-based blends, this cuvée showcases the Albariño grape in its purest form, grown on the region's signature sabrego (decomposed granite) soils along the steep terraces of the Avia and Miño river valleys.
Wine Description
Viña Costeira Meu Albariño displays a brilliant, light straw-yellow color with shimmering green reflections. The nose is highly aromatic and fresh, offering an elegant bouquet of Fuji apple, white peach, and melon, layered with delicate notes of orange blossom, freshly chopped parsley, and mint leaf. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and remarkably full-textured, showcasing a "crunchy" acidity and a phenolic mid-palate that provides unexpected depth. It is characterized by its mineral elegance and a persistent finish marked by citrus zest and a distinctive saline tang. This 100% Albariño has an ABV of 13%.
