2024 Nanclares Y Prieto Rías Baixas ‘Dandelion’ Albariño
Alberto Nanclares and Silvia Prieto make transparent, Atlantic-influenced wines, mainly with Albariño from old vines around the village of Cambados (where the winery is located). Employing organic farming practices and a restrained hand in the cellar, the pair have managed something very rare: the refinement of Albariño into angular, age-worthy wines that express the fascinating terruños of Cambados and Rías Baixas.
organic farming practices, hand-harvested, native yeast fermentation in stainless steel, 5-7 months spent on the lees, bottled without stabilization or clarification
- Tasting Notes zesty citrus, green apple, grapefruit, honeydew, nectarine, subtle fennel, coarse sea salt
- Variety Albariño
- Region Spain, Rias Baixas

- Table Talk This wine label is an ode to the traditional pergola vine training in Rías Baixas, which involves using high, horizontal canopies supported by granite posts to keep the grape bunches above the ground. This system, known as emparrado, maximizes air circulation and sun exposure to prevent mildew and rot in the region's humid, rainy climate, which is ideal for Albariño vines.

2023 Santo Wines 1911 Santorini Assyrtiko
This bone-dry Assyrtiko from Santorini is a true benchmark of the variety, bursting with citrusy brightness, sea-breeze freshness, and the classic volcanic minerality. Crisp acidity and subtle floral notes frame a palate of lemon zest, peach, and a whisper of honey. Grown in the island’s arid, low-yielding volcanic soils, it delivers a smoky, textural finish that’s both salty and endlessly food-friendly. A vibrant, high-energy white with unmistakable island character.
