A fresh and expressive Albariño from Arousana, one of the largest and most established cooperatives within the Rías Baixas denomination. Based in the Salnés Valley near Pontevedra, the cooperative brings together more than 400 members, farming around 200 hectares of vineyards spread across the small, traditional plots typical of Galicia. Luzada captures the bright, maritime character for which this Atlantic region is renowned.
Tasting Notes:
Aromatic and vibrant, the nose offers fresh herbal notes alongside green apple, pear and citrus, with hints of grapefruit and lime. On the palate it is crisp and refreshing, with lively acidity supporting flavours of citrus, orchard fruit and delicate floral nuances. The finish is clean and persistent, reflecting the naturally fresh style of Albariño from the Salnés Valley.
Winemaking:
Produced from estate-grown Albariño across numerous small vineyard parcels, the grapes are vinified using modern temperature-controlled techniques to preserve aromatic intensity and purity of fruit. The cooperative’s close collaboration with its growers ensures consistent quality and a faithful expression of the region’s terroir.
Food Pairing:
An excellent match for seafood and shellfish, particularly grilled prawns, mussels or white fish. It also works beautifully with salads, light tapas and simple Mediterranean dishes.
Alcohol: 13%
