Albariño

The home of the Albariño grape lies in the windswept, green north-west of Spain, where the Atlantic shapes the climate and lends the wines their unmistakable maritime soul. In the cool Rías Baixas, the variety produces high-toned white wines carried by a salty breeze, vibrating in the glass with gripping acidity, ripe stone fruit notes and bright citrus aromas. Albariño possesses a remarkable structure that gains an almost creamy depth through lees ageing without ever losing its freshness, making it the ideal partner for seafood and fine fish dishes.

Just how versatile this grape variety can be is demonstrated by the artisanal spectrum of Attis Bodegas y Vinedos. Alongside the classic, wonderfully precise expression in the Embaixador, the winery fascinatingly pushes the boundaries of the grape: whether in the skin-contact Sitta Maceracion or through ageing in the Galician sea with the spectacular Attis Mar.
