Asorei Albariño, Rías Baixas 2024
£16.50
A deliciously vibrant Albariño which has become a real favourite of the OWC list.
- A vibrant, refreshing profile with flavours of citrus, green apple, and subtle floral notes, complemented by a touch of minerality, making it the perfect choice for those who love crisp, aromatic white wines.
- Hailing from Spain's prestigious Rías Baixas DO in Galicia, known for its cool, coastal climate, this wine is a true reflection of the region's maritime influences and unique terroir, which impart a fresh, zesty character to the wine.
- Asorei is a family-owned winery that focuses on quality and tradition, producing wines from estate-grown Albariño grapes that reflect the natural beauty of the region.
- The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo fermentation in stainless steel tanks, preserving the bright fruit character and crisp acidity. The wine is then left on its lees for a short period to add subtle complexity and texture.
- Whether enjoyed on its own as an aperitif or alongside a summer seafood feast, Asorei Albariño is perfect for any occasion. Its crispness and fruit-forward character make it a delightful choice for casual get-togethers or elegant dinners.

Adega Terra Asorei is a modern, forward thinking winery located in Spain's North Western region of Rias Baixas. Albarino is the main grape here and Terra Asorei farms 60 hectares aged between15 & 80 years old in the Salnes Valley. The winery as we know it today was formed in 2008 when six families, who had previously worked together as a mini co-operative, joined together to form one company. They are committed to the sustainable, humane and socially responsible production of high quality Albarino.
This is a very food friendly wine. If you like food as much as I do, it helps to have something in the fridge that will go well with almost anything. - Aljoscha Wright, OWC
