Bodegas Albamar Pepe Luis Albarino 2021, 0.75L
Albariño from Rías Baixas, Galicia
“There were more iodine and low-tide notes in the nose of the 2021 Pepe Luis, with herbal and moss aromas, while the smoky notes were more in the background. The vintage is more marked in this wine; this is sharper and more austere than the rounder 2020 that I tasted next to it, despite both being balanced, fresh and harmonious. 6,100 bottles were produced. It was bottled after spending 17 months in two 2,500-liter oak foudres.”

Quinta de Muradella Alanda Blanco 2021, 0.75L
Doña Blanca / Treixadura / Godello from Monterrei, Galicia
"The 2021 Alanda Blanco is a village wine from Monterrei, a blend of Dona Blanca, Treixadura and Verdello that reflects the diversity of soils, altitudes and expositions. The varieties fermented together, being added to the vat progressively, and 1,500-liters matured in a used French oak foudre for 15 months and the rest was kept in stainless steel. It's pale, young and austere, more about soil and rocks than fruit, with notions of wet granite and dry flowers. It has contained ripeness, 13% alcohol, very good acidity, freshness and balance, with a sense of purity and transparency that is common to all whites here. It has depth, energy and light and extra vibrancy this year. It could very well be the finest white Alanda to date. 10,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2023." 95, Luis Gutierrez, Wine Advocate, Nov 2023
“The 2021 Blanco Alanda, a blend of Treixadura, Doña Blanca,
and Blanco Lexítimo, hails from the small DO Monterrei in Galicia. Partially
aged in a French oak foudre, this yellow-hued wine has an enticing nose that
unfolds notes of herbs and pear, with a subtle oak layer. Creamy and
refreshing, it flows with a velvety texture stirred up by calibrated acidity.” 91, Joaquin Hidalgo, Vinous, Dec 2023

Telmo Rodriguez 'Gaba do Xil' O Barreiro 2021 2021, 0.75L
Godello from Valdeorras, Galicia
"The entry-level white from Valdeorras is now called the 2021 Gaba do Xil O Barreiro, which they harvested intermittently because of the rain from early September. The wine has only 12.5% alcohol and retained a low pH of 3.4. This was bottled unoaked after four months with lees in stainless steel. They have reduced the volume here, making a selection from their own vineyards in Larouco on red soils with a little more clay, so it's almost a different wine. This feels a bit reductive, a lot more than the other two whites; it's younger, a bit too young, but the palate is fresh and precise, with salty granite minerality and a dry finish with a bitter twist. 77,334 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2022." 92, Luis Guiterrez, Wine Advocate
