Lagar de Pintos Albarino 2022

100% Albarino

Lagar de Pintos is a family estate currently run by its 4th generation, winemaker Marta Castro-Pintos.  The estate was originally a farmstead for raising sheep and cows, and in the 1950's the family planted grapevines. Average 40 years old grown in granitic and sandy soils from the estate’s seven vineyard.  

The wine is light golden in the glass, and offers a bold, aromatic nose full of juicy meyer lemon and citrus zest and a hint of white flowers backed up by a distinct Celtic Sea salt note. As the wine opens, the unripe peach stone fruit aromas give way to juicy green apple and herbs, making for an extremely complex Albariño profile. On the palate, the super bright green herbaceous flavors are matched only by a firm, extremely dry palate that shows off the granitic soil and even a tiny bit of tannic, mineral structure. Lemon verbena flavors blend with a cooling, fresh mineral water mouthfeel ending in a very long finish.  13% ABV
