"Light
yellow-gold. Apple and pear aromas are complicated by musky
herbal and floral qualities. Fleshy, slightly bitter orchard
fruit flavors are dry and focused, picking up lemon pith and
thyme notes with air. This has the power to serve with richer
dishes and will work better at the table than by itself."

"Valminor's Albariños are consistently top-notch
examples of what this grape can do in Rias Baixas in northwest
Spain. They smell and taste exotically suggestive,
full-flavored but light in body, so seem almost nimble when
you sip them. This 2007 is delicious now and should
provide lots of pleasure into the warm, summer months."

combines fruity flavors and freshness with a rounded acidity,
resulting in a balanced wine that boasts an opulent taste with

"A brilliant yellow Albariño from Adegas Valmiñor that
is drier and less fruity than the standard bearers of the D.O.
A strong fresh grape nose translates to hints of apple and
balsamic on the palette with a light touch."

Rated 90 pts by the Wine Advocate (Issue 175, Feb 08)
"Bright lemon yellow color. Displays a honeyed nose of
pear and melon. Brisk, with bold acidity on the attack
accompanied by a dash of petillance and zest. Stony minerality
and lemon-citrus flavors dominate. Long, very dry finish.
Great wine for shrimp sautéed with garlic and lemon zest."
- International Wine Review (Jan. 2008), 89 pts
"This is a killer wine for
summer at a great price with--finally--a closure that will do
justice to the wine now and for another year or longer.
The fruit is nicely perfumed with scents of white flowers and shows a vivid peach profile on the palate, with real roundness
and substance but also plenty of linear thrust into a
persistent finish that is freshened by zesty acidity. US
importer Fran Kysela badgered Valmiñor to send his allotment
of the wine under a screw cap closure, and the bottle that I
tasted in the USA was actually fresher than one tasted in Rias
Baixas (just five days previously) despite having been shipped
for thousands of miles."

"Greenish
straw. Melon, peach and ripe pear on the nose, with zesty
mineral, ginger and quinine accents. Round and silky, with
light body and supple orchard and citrus flavors supported by
gentle acidity. Less energetic than the excellent 2005 but
plenty refreshing and easy to drink."
