Bodegas Granbazán, Albariño Etiqueta Verde, 2024

Bodegas Granbazán Albariño Etiqueta Verde 2024 is a beautifully expressive white wine that captures the crisp, saline soul of Rías Baixas in its purest form. It’s a vivid introduction to both the Albariño grape and one of Galicia’s most characterful coastal producers, combining freshness, precision, and unmistakable Atlantic energy.

Tasting Notes
Bright and pale straw in the glass, it immediately signals freshness and lift. The nose is aromatic and coastal, with notes of mandarin, peach, white flowers, citrus zest, mussel shell, fresh tarragon, and a subtle hint of almond. On the palate, it is taut, clean, and energetic, with a crunchy saline edge and vibrant acidity that carries flavors of orange blossom, white stone fruit, bitter grapefruit, fresh mandarin, crushed stone, lime, and preserved lemon. The finish is long, mouthwatering, and intensely refreshing. While this wine is already a pleasure in its youth, its structure and mineral drive suggest it can develop nicely over the next few years.

Production
This wine is made from 100% Albariño grown in the coastal subzone of Val do Salnés in Rías Baixas, where granite-rich soils and Atlantic influence create ideal conditions for slow ripening and strong natural freshness. The grapes come from 35-year-old vines on southeast- and east-facing vineyards, and are hand-harvested with careful selection in the vineyard and again at the winery. After destemming, the fruit undergoes 6–8 hours of cold maceration to enhance aromatic intensity and texture before fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine then rests on its fine lees for 4–5 months without battonage, adding a subtle creamy dimension while preserving the variety’s signature tension, purity, and saline finish.

Food & Serving
This is a superb gastronomic white wine, ideal with seasonal seafood, razor clams, grilled prawns, fried shellfish, green asparagus, and fresh salads. It also shines with steenbider rogn, roasted potatoes, and aioli. Serve well chilled, ideally at 8–10°C, and no decanting is necessary—just open and enjoy its immediate aromatic charm.
