2024 Berry Bros. & Rudd Albariño by Bodegas Sucesores de Benito Santos, Rías Baixas, Spain

Albariño is a relatively thick-skinned white grape that thrives in northwest Spain and Portugal. It produces wines that, at their best (like this example), are rich and gently spicy, with ripe notes of peach, green apple, and even tropical fruit. Crucially, these wines always have a wonderful acidity and a slight saline note.

Sucesores de Benito Santos is less than a kilometre from the coast, bringing freshness to the wines made here. This is a bright, refreshing and crisp wine, and as Antonio Porto, the Winemaker at Benito Santos, says, “This is a wine to enjoy on any occasion.”
