"The 2011 Albarino de Fefinanes has a light bouquet of green apple, pear and fresh apricot that is well-defined. The palate is well- balanced, fresh as a daisy on the entry with a nicely judged seam of citric acidity and a focused, almost brittle finish that demonstrates immense clarity. Superb! Drink now-2017."

"Clean, crisp, cut, this has a minerally white-fruit nose. It’s elegant and chiseled on the palate, with bright peach and nectarine flavors that carry onto a tight, dry, flinty finish. An elegant, lifted Albariño with a lightness of being.- Mickael Schachner"

"Pale yellow. Ripe orange, pear and nectarine aromas are complicated by notes of white pepper, herbs and honeysuckle. Pliant, expansive orchard and citrus fruit flavors show very good depth and energy, with a late note of bitter quinine adding grip. Finishes firm and long, with lingering spiciness and tangy minerality."

"This is consistenly one of my very favourite Albariños (and Spanish whites for that matter) from the historic Fefiñanes winery. It's spritzy, perfumed and refreshing with that Riesling-like crispness that you get in the best Galician whites, notes of pear and stone fruit and a long, satisfying, palate-tingling finish. The taste of (green) Spain."

"Green-tinged yellow. High-pitched citrus fruit and floral aromas, with dusty mineral and white pepper qualities building with air. Shows very good depth and energy, offering juicy orange and green apple flavors and a touch of fennel. Nervy and precise on the impressively persistent finish, which echoes the mineral and fennel notes. - JR"
