More About Albamar 150cl - Rias Baixas Albarino

The vines come from many different plots, planted in sandy, granitic soils close to the Atlantic (in places 25m away). One of the very few albariño in the region to be made via natural, indigenous yeasts. There is acidity and freshness and this wine mixes a delicious mineral vibration with a dense core of fruit with a marked salinity on the finish. This takes albariño to the next level and proves it can be a serious wine rather than just the "holiday favourite".

Meet the Producer, Albamar

Albamar

Style: Winery

Albamar has become one of the names people quietly obsess over once they properly get into Galician wine. The project is run by Xurxo Alba in Cambados, right in the heart of Rías Baixas, where the Atlantic more or less shapes everything. Vineyards sit incredibly close to the ocean, many planted on sandy granitic soils, and that salty coastal influence runs through the entire feel of the wines and the winery itself.

What makes Albamar so compelling is how natural and unforced everything feels. Xurxo took over the family vineyards in the mid-2000s and slowly shifted things towards lower-intervention farming and winemaking, focusing on expressing the landscape rather than polishing everything into a generic “modern white wine” style. Fermentations happen with native yeasts, oak is used very gently when it appears at all, and there’s a real sense that the wines are allowed to develop at their own pace.

There’s also a proper sense of energy behind the whole project. Albamar never feels stuck in tradition for tradition’s sake. Alongside the classic Albariño bottlings, Xurxo experiments with old local grape varieties, sparkling wines, skin contact wines, and tiny single-vineyard releases, all while keeping that distinctly Atlantic identity running through everything. Saline, bright, textured, slightly wild around the edges, but always incredibly drinkable. The sort of producer that makes people fall hard for Galicia as a wine region.
