Heredad Chavarri Albariño Rías Baixas 2024
Flavor Profile
Fifth-generation winemaker Ruth Chavarri has earned a reputation for her seriously delicious red Riojas, but here’s a little secret: When it comes to what’s in her own glass, she’s a much bigger fan of white wine! So when her family invested in a property in Rías Baixas, she jumped at the opportunity to craft her own Heredad Chavarri Albariño, a ripe and rounded, citrus-inflected thirst quencher we know you’re going to love.
One of the most important varieties on the Iberian peninsula, Albariño is Spain’s signature white and expressions from Rías Baixas—in a lush northwestern area known as “Green Spain,” in the Galicia region—are among the finest.
To make her super-fresh version, Ruth used a cold fermentation technique, which slows down the winemaking process to preserve delicate aromas and fresh fruit flavors. She then aged the wine on its lees for nine long months before bottling, helping to create a plump mouthfeel and ultra-smooth texture.
The result is one seriously delicious drop, casting mesmerizing floral and herbal aromas and a palate laced with tropical and orchard fruit tones. You may even detect a faint salty tang, a trademark of top Albariño. It’s a perfect seafood white—order now.
