+ KNOW THE SCORE: Here's what Wine Advocate had to say [93+ points]
'The eponymous flagship village white 2023 Albamar comes from many different Albarino plots, owned and rented, on different soils but mostly granite. The juice from the pressing of the full clusters fermented and matured in stainless steel and oak foudres where it was kept with the lees for eight months. It has clarity, purity and transparency, which seems to define the 2023 vintage, and it is floral and perfumed but serious, with a vibrant palate. It is easy to drink, with moderate alcohol (12.5%), good freshness, a pH of 3.18 and 7.8 grams of acidity and finishes with a salty touch. It's very tasty, one of the finest vintages - if not the finest - for this bottling.'
