"The 2014 Albariño de Fefiñanes was very discreet with an unyielding nose when I tasted it. 2014 was again a very difficult vintage and it has produced rather light wines. This is clean and has some pineapple and citric flavors that give it a fresh profile. Good for the context of the vintage. - Luis Gutierrez"

"Apple, lime and mineral aromas lend freshness to a mature nose. This feels round and plump, but well balanced due to fine acidity. Peach and citrus flavors are stony and finish with tropical notes of lychee and mango. Drink now. - Mickael Schachner"

"The 2015 Albariño de Fefiñanes is always one of the most reliable Albariños, clean with notes of freshly cut grass, balsamic and subtle. The palate is nicely balanced and fresh, with clean flavors and a notable finish. 120,000 bottles produced. - Luis Gutiérrez"

"Light bright yellow. Highly perfumed aromas of fresh citrus and orchard fruits, chalky minerals, mint and honeysuckle on the incisive nose. Silky, sharply focused and energetic on the palate, offering nervy lime zest, green apple and quinine flavors and a stony note that adds zesty cut. Finishes bright,taut and very long, displaying excellent focus and lingering florality. - Josh Raynolds"

"Another unoaked white wine, crisp, exotic, refreshing, and delicately fruity. More supple than other brightly acidic whites (see Vinho Verde, which tends to feature Albarino), with notes of vanilla and peach. Mild salinity interrupts any heft. Meaning you’ll feel like you’re sitting seaside somewhere on the Spanish coastline."

"Most examples of the Galician white grape variety albariño available in the UK are not bad at all. They do their slightly apricotty, fresh thing, matching very well with seafood or cleansing a tired post-work brain with minimal fuss. They’re a reliable under-a-tenner alternative to sauvignon blanc when the gooseberry greenness of that grape variety seems a bit too much. Fefiñanes has always been better than that, however, and the latest vintage (available this week) from the first producer to bottle the variety solo in the 1920s is simply superb. Pristine, fleshy ripe pear, apple and white peach, and a wave of salty freshness that can’t help but make you think of seaspray. One of Spain’s very best white wines."
