From the granite soils of Cambados comes a wine that feels like the Atlantic breeze caught in a glass. The 2021 Lindeiros Albariño opens with aromas of white peach, lemon zest, and delicate white flowers, grounded by a fine mineral hum. The palate glides between freshness and depth with juicy stone fruit and citrus framed by a creamy texture from a year on lees. Subtle whispers of sea salt, crushed shell, and light spice linger through a long, saline finish. It’s Albariño with both energy and poise, elegant now, but with the quiet strength to age beautifully.

For when: you want a white that feels alive and effortlessly refined.
Pairs with: scallops, salt cod, or seafood risotto by the coast.
If this wine were a feeling, it’d be the moment the tide turns and the light shifts, calm, golden, and full of promise.

Lagar de Fornelos, part of the La Rioja Alta family, sits in the heart of Rías Baixas and has become one of Galicia’s most respected names for Albariño. The estate’s Lindeiros cuvée takes its name from the traditional “vine borders” that once divided plots across the region, a nod to the way Albariño has always connected people through land and craft.

The grapes come from Finca Troviscoso in Cambados, planted in 1987 on granitic soils just a stone’s throw from the sea. Here, the Atlantic moderates the climate, shaping fruit of precision and aromatic clarity. Fermented and aged across stainless steel, French oak bocoyes, and concrete egg, the wine spent 12 months on fine lees, followed by a year in bottle before release. The result is a layered, textural Albariño that balances richness and salinity, a graceful evolution of Galicia’s maritime soul.
