Lagar de Costa Piedra y Sal
Lagar de Costa · Rías Baixas, Spain
A classic young Albariño from Rías Baixas, defined by tension and minerality. The nose is expressive with notes of passion fruit, lime zest, green apple, and a subtle saline edge. On the palate it is linear and vibrant, driven by bright acidity and a textured mid-palate. A precise, coastal expression with freshness and energy at its core.

The grapes are fully destemmed and fermented in stainless steel. Alcoholic fermentation is followed by two months of lees aging to enhance texture and complexity.
