El Camino del Albariño – 3-Pack

2025 Nortico Alvarinho, Minho, Portugal

Nortico’s birthplace is known for the local dedication to traditional crafts, and the label design reflects azulejos, the hand-painted tiles covering buildings all over this region. Ask anyone for the best Alvarinho in Portugal and people will point to the extreme north in the sub-region of Moncao and Melgao, right on the border with Spain. Nortico Alvarinho is a superb example of the grape's hallmarks: fresh citrus, peach and tropical aromas paired with clean, juicy fruit and vibrant minerality.

2025 Forjas de Salnés "Leirana" Albariño, Rías Baixas, Spain

Rodrigo Mendez is a 5th generation winemaker from the tiny fishing village of Meaño in Salnes, the most coastal of the subzones of Rías Baixas. Descended from the founding head of the DO of Rías Baixas, he is an astute historian of the history and heritage of this place, and makes wines to express and preserve this history and unique maritime terroir. There's both grip and finesse here - an Albariño with structure, purity, and a lingering, ocean-kissed finish.

2024 Columna "Granito" Albariño, Rías Baixas, Spain

Winemaker Rodri Mendez draws upon generations of family experience to farm this superb Albariño on his estate in the most southern and inland subzone of Rías Baixas (Condado de Tea). Vines are tended in Granite and alluvial soil, imparting lots of minerality. This Albariño strikes a perfect balance of ripe fruit, juicy acidity, delicate fragrance and structured mineral. Perfect for clams, octopus and all manner of vegetable dishes.
