La Val Orballo Rías Baixas Albariño (140cl) 2023
Orballo Albariño is a vibrant and expressive white wine from the O Rosal subregion of Rías Baixas in northwestern Spain. Bursting with citrus, white fruit and floral aromas, complemented by subtle saline and mineral notes, this wine reflects the unique coastal terroir where Atlantic influences and careful vineyard management produce fresh, aromatic whites of remarkable precision. Why You'll Love It This is Rías Baixas Albariño at its finest—fresh, aromatic, and beautifully balanced. Crafted exclusively from estate-grown grapes in the O Rosal subregion, Orballo showcases the distinctive coastal character of this celebrated Spanish white wine region. The wine is aged for six months on lees in stainless steel, six months in concrete egg, and six months in ceramic tanks to enhance texture and complexity, resulting in a wine with exceptional depth and minerality. Vineyard & Production Grapes are grown in the estate's own vineyards in O Rosal, planted on well-drained soils that benefit from cooling Atlantic breezes. Meticulous vineyard management ensures optimal ripeness and aromatic intensity. Hand-harvested in 20 kg cases, grapes undergo a 6-hour cold maceration at 10°C, followed by gentle pressing. Fermentation occurs naturally in 5,000-litre stainless steel tanks over 2–3 weeks at 16°C. The wine is then aged for six months on its lees in stainless steel, six months in concrete egg, and six months in ceramic tanks. Tasting Notes This fresh and aromatic Albariño opens with notes of citrus, pear and apricot, layered with delicate floral and saline nuances. The palate is medium-bodied and fruit-driven, showing flavours of pear and apricot with vibrant acidity. The finish is long, crisp and mineral-driven with a distinctive saline character. Perfect Pairings A versatile food wine, perfect with seafood, grilled fish, fresh cheeses, foie gras, chicken, rice dishes, or pasta. Serve chilled at 12°C. Also excellent with shellfish and coastal cuisine. The Blend 100% Albariño
Signos de Origen La Vinilla Chardonnay Roussanne Marsanne Viognier 2022
Emiliana Signos de Origen La Vinilla is a white of real ambition and precision from Chile's cool, coastal Casablanca Valley. A blend of Chardonnay and Roussanne, hand-harvested from meticulously farmed organic and biodynamic blocks, fermented with native yeasts across French barrels, concrete ovoids, foudres, and stainless steel, and aged on lees for nine months — this is a wine of remarkable weight, texture, and seamless complexity. Power and elegance in equal measure. Why You'll Love It Emiliana has been one of Chile's most exciting producers since 1998, pioneering organic and biodynamic viticulture at a time when few others were paying attention. The Signos de Origen range represents the pinnacle of that work — single-vineyard wines with genuine personality, precision, and a true sense of place. The Casablanca Valley's maritime breezes moderate summer temperatures, allowing grapes to ripen slowly and develop exceptional aromatic intensity. If you love serious white Burgundy, this is the Chilean answer worth discovering. Vineyard & Production Grapes are hand-harvested from high-quality blocks in Casablanca and carefully selected on a sorting table before whole-bunch pressing in a pneumatic press. The must is kept cold on its lees for six days before spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts. After fermentation, the wine rests on lees for nine months: 60% in French barrels, 16% in 2,000-litre French foudres, 15% in concrete ovoids, and 9% in stainless steel, before final blending and bottling. Tasting Notes Aromas of cold salted butter and subtle white pepper on the nose. The palate is generous and textured — almond skin, vanilla, crème fraîche, and salted butter — with a seam of saline minerality running through the long, refined finish. Perfect Pairings Excellent with fine hard cheeses, perfectly roasted chicken, classic poulette, pan-fried scallops, or lobster with butter sauce. A wine that rewards a special occasion without demanding one. The Blend Chardonnay
