2011 Alberto Nanclares "Dandelion" Albariño Rias Baixas "Dandelion is a lovely Albariño blended from a few different parcels in Rias Baixas. Bright flavors of lime and hints of lemongrass predominate, with a clarity of flavors and linear style that distinguishes this wine from other Albariños. Based in O Castrelo, a village just a few kilometers away from the town of Cambados, Alberto Nanclares excels in carefully grown, non manipulated, acid driven Albariño wines amongst the purest we have yet to taste. A serious vigneron, he owns or rents out various parcels, barely adding up to 6 or so acres. Everything is worked by hand by Alberto, and the winery has a "produccion integrada" certification, which though it's not technically an organic certification, we can assure you that the approach and use of local and organic products for vine and soil health is way above and beyond minimum organic standards in most parts of the world. In the cellar, Alberto allows the wine to express itself through separate fermentations of distinct vineyard parcels, native yeast fermentation, natural stabilization and otherwise nothing else added. His pH's are extremley low, and acidity levels extremely high; therefore these are not wines for the faint of heart (or those lacking antacids!) but they are clearly amongst the most exciting wines in the region right now." - Joe Manekin, K&L Spanish wine buyer

2011 Alberto Nanclares "Crisopa" Albariño Rias Baixas
"This is Albariño from vines as old as 100 years old, with 15 days skin contact, fermented and aged in a single 2,000 L oak "tina." Wow wow wow triple wow. I visited Alberto in February. You think you know Albariño? If you haven't tried Alberto's wines, you most definitely DO NOT know Albariño. Or as a good customer of ours once famously said, "Get back to me once you've tasted more __" [insert name of whatever wine you want, in this case Albarino!]" - Joe Manekin, K&L Spanish wine buyer Comments are closed.
