Palacio de Fefinanes Albarino de Fefinanes 2019

Drink now through to 2023. Serve well chilled.

Palacio de Fefinanes occupies a special place in Spanish wine circles as the first winery to bottle an Albariño wine in 1928. Today the modern, custom-built winery occupies the ancient cloisters of the imposing 17th century palace and the grapes are carefully sourced from 66 local families who have been working with the estate for decades.

Palacio de Fefinanes’ flagship wine is their Albariño de Fefinanes which was the very first example of the variety to be bottled in 1928. The bottle still bears the original label design which was created by the jeweller and master craftsman Enrique Mayer when the first bottles were released.

To preserve the uniquely aromatic and fresh character of the Albariño the grapes are vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and left to settle over the winter. The result is a crisp, vibrant white wine which opens with enticing hints of lemon zest, green apple and honeysuckle. On the palate the wine has a pleasantly light touch with plenty of racy acidity, gentle stone fruit flavours and a long clean finish. Ideal to serve well chilled as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to grilled fish, fresh seafood, or a chilled gazpacho soup.
