WINE DESCRIPTION
Zárate Albariño is a premium white wine produced by Bodegas Zárate, a family-owned winery located in the Rías Baixas appellation of Galicia, Spain. The wine is made from the Albariño grape variety, which is grown in the winery's estate vineyards that are situated on the slopes of the Salnés Valley. The vineyards are characterized by their granitic soils and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, which impart a unique minerality and freshness to the wine. The winemaking process involves a combination of traditional and modern techniques, including fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging on the lees. The resulting wine is crisp, aromatic, and elegant, with notes of citrus, white flowers, and a subtle saline character. Zárate Albariño is a perfect match for seafood, shellfish, and other light dishes.
