Lusco Albariño 2019
Rías Baixas DO

From a cellar described by Decanter as "one of the top wineries in Rías Baixas”, this is an exciting new Albariño for our list. It has classic notes of ripe stone fruit, pear with a floral note and an incisive whip of mineral freshness to balance.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
The Wine
Albariño has become a firm favourite for white wine drinkers, who love the dazzling freshness of Sauvignon Blanc, but want a bit more peachy roundness. "Spain's best white by miles" said critic Matthew Jukes. You get all that character and a lot more with Pazos de Lusco. It's from the Rías Baixas region of Galicia in NW Spain and a 16th century estate. It is surrounded by its five hectares of high trellised, south facing vines, which ripen well in the full face of the sunshine, tempered by cooling breezes. In fact it's a top spot for this grape and, although not organically certified, the grapes only ever need natural treatments. Even the yeast used for fermentation is from the grape skins.
