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.

- 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.
