Tasting Notes


Golden yellow, clean and bright.

On the nose it offers high aromatic intensity, revealing a complex array of yellow and winter fruits such as mirabelle plum, persimmon, and loquat, interwoven with citrus notes of lime and yuzu zest. Subtle hints of brioche, fresh butter, and a delicate floral nuance reminiscent of orange blossom accompany the fruit profile.

On the palate, it is enveloping from the first sip, with a creamy, polished texture thanks to extended lees aging. This richness is balanced by vibrant acidity that brings freshness and a long, persistent finish.

Serving: Best served at 50–54°F (10–12°C).

Food pairing: thanks to the body and salinity, this wine can handle seafood (grilled octopus, scallops, butter-poached lobster, or seafood paella). Strong aged cheeses (Cruiller, Edam, Touza Vella).

The 2024 Granbazán Albariño “Etiqueta Ámbar” is a creamy, lees-aged white from Val do Salnés, the cool, wet Atlantic corner of Rías Baixas. Mirabelle plum, loquat, lime and yuzu zest meet hints of brioche and orange blossom. The texture is rich and polished, and bright acidity and a salty, lingering finish keep it fresh. It is available for delivery across Florida.

Bodegas Granbazán was founded in 1981 and is a pioneer of Rías Baixas. This wine is its flagship, made from grapes grown at Finca Tremoedo and by long-standing growers in the Salnés Valley. The vines grow on traditional pergolas, which keep air moving through the damp Atlantic climate. The grapes are hand-harvested and given a short, cold skin contact. They ferment with native yeast in stainless steel. The wine is aged on fine lees before bottling, which gives it its creamy texture.

Why buy it: if you love crisp coastal whites, this is Albariño with extra depth and texture, with the saline Atlantic character that makes the grape special. It earned 93 points from Jeb Dunnuck, and it is a fair price for a lees-aged white of this quality, made from grapes grown at Finca Tremoedo and by long-standing growers in the Salnés Valley.

When to open it: a seafood dinner on a warm Florida evening, with grilled octopus, scallops, butter-poached lobster or seafood paella. It is also lovely with aged cheeses or creamy goat cheese. Serve it at 50-54°F (10-12°C), a little less cold than a typical white, so the creamy notes show. It drinks beautifully from 2026 through 2029.
