Goedhuis, February 2024
Purity and varietal expression sit at the heart of everything that Chan de Rosas do and their Clásico Albarino is no different. Aged in stainless steel with 3 months spent on lees, the 2021 is full of verve and energy, where aromas of citrus peel, apple skin, elderflower, and honeysuckle all vie for attention on the nose. The palate meanwhile is mineral-focused, with terrific acidity and a clarity of fruit that only adds to the wine’s overall freshness.
Region
Rías Baixas
Rías Baixas is the most important wine region in Galicia, north-west Spain, producing some of Spain's most sought-after dry white wines. There are 5 subzones, which all share the samegranite-based subsoils and relatively cool, damp, maritime climate. The albariño grape rules here and produces a fragrant, intensely fruity, dry white wine with a natural minimum alcohol often above 12 per cent. This can often be blended with caiño blanco, as well as treixadura, and loureira. The purest albariño wines come from Val do Salnés zone. Red wine can also be made from mencía, espadeiro, and caiño tinto but these are relatively unimportant.
