The PAI Albariño is a blend from various parcels, all grown on well-draining, sandy soils typical of the region. These conditions are ideal for producing wines with pronounced aromatic qualities.

The wine showcases a delightful array of aromas, including lemon, green apple, and a hint of yellow kiwi, accompanied by a subtle touch of sea salt and flint. This combination of fruity and mineral notes is a hallmark of the Albariño grape, especially when grown in the unique terroir of Rías Baixas.

This wine's production emphasizes natural processes and the use of indigenous yeasts for fermentation, a practice that further enhances its authentic expression of the varietal and the region. The Bodegas Albamar, under the guidance of Xurxo Alba, is committed to crafting wines that truly reflect the essence of their origin.

Pairing suggestions for the PAI Albariño include dishes like roasted artichokes and sheep cheese, which complement the wine's vibrant acidity and aromatic profile.

Robert Parker (RP) : 92 Points (2022)
There is a smoky and leesy hint in the 2022 Pai, which was produced with Albariño that went through 100% malolactic in stainless steel and then matured in foudre for three months. It's rounder and has a little more ripeness than the 2021 I tasted next to it, still marked at 13% alcohol on the label, with a medium-bodied palate and a dry finish. They almost reached 10,000 bottles in 2022.

This wine comes from Rías Baixas, a renowned wine region in Galicia, Spain, known for its Albariño wines. The region's granite disintegrating sands and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean impart a distinctive terroir to the wine.

The Sesenta e Nove Arrobas is made from a selection of the best grapes from old vines, which produce fewer clusters but with excellent aromatic qualities. The grapes are vinified exclusively in steel tanks to enhance their rich aromatic qualities, and the wine is aged for 18 months in these tanks. The use of indigenous yeasts and a natural approach to winemaking further accentuates the grape's unique characteristics.

Tasting Notes:

  • Color: The wine has a bright and inviting appearance.
  • Aroma: Expect a vibrant bouquet, brimming with mineral notes along with traces of flowers and a variety of citrus fruits.
  • Palate: The taste is taut, fresh, and saline, with a crisp and invigorating acidity. It flows seamlessly to a finish marked by great freshness, making it both savory and vibrant.

Wine Pairing Ideas: This wine pairs beautifully with seafood, making it an excellent choice for dishes like grilled fish, shellfish, or a seafood paella. Its crispness and acidity also make it a great match for light salads and vegetarian dishes.
