Galicia is a very individual region within Spain, with a language and culture all of its own. It is also home to arguably Spain's greatest white grape variety, Albarino, which grows on the traditional pergolas all over the Rias Baixas area of Galicia. This is a cool, strongly maritime influenced region.
Many of the producers in the regions are very small and, as a result, prices for Albarino are pretty solid. Whilst not exactly cheap, Castel de Bouza are one of the best value wineries and is finer, more structured and exemplifies all that great Albarino should be.
Produced by a cooperative of just 5 vineyard owners, Castel de Bouza have access to great fruit from which they make classic Albarino. Bright, citrussy and minerally on the nose with a crisp, almost riesling like character on the palate with hints of lemon and mineral.
Fantastic with seafood, fish and salads.
Brilliant seafood or shell fish partner!
