Description: Located in Val do Salnés, in the heart of Rías Baixas Spain, Lagar de Costa is a family run winery where three generations of winemakers are dedicated to the care of the star of the area, Albarino! With the new generation at the helm, Sonia and her brother Manuel are making strides with innovations while preserving the essence of the estate. At Lagar de Costa, the vines grow near the coast, on the lower reaches of the river Umia at an altitude of 0-30 meters above sea level near the town of Cambados. The soil is composed of mostly granite, addingcomplexity and minerality throughout their wines. The pergola trained vine system suits the conditions of the region perfectly: high humidity, mild temperatures and lots of rain throughout the year. The aim is always to obtain a wine that expresses its unique characteristics and captures the essence of soil and maritime influence. The nose is expressive with notes of passion fruit, lime zest, green apple, and a subtle saline edge. On the palate it is linear and vibrant, driven by bright acidity and a textured mid-palate. A precise, coastal expression with freshness and energy at its core.
Food Pairing: Fish/shrimp tacos, Bacalao Guisado (cod stew), Pulpo a la Gallega (Galician-style octopus), scallops, grilled lemon & herb chicken etc.
