Named for the beautiful islands at the mouth of Vigo Estuary, this albarino is a throwback to a different era. Native yeast fermentation, natural temperature regulation, and only a small amount aged in stainless steel, this style is more similar to the region pre-mechanization. Serious and salty with notes of orange zest, meyer lemon, pear, and honeysuckle, it drinks as beautiful as the islands it's named for.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

"The 2023 Cíes is the white village wine from Meaño, from different vineyards, and it is elegant and subtle, insinuating and detailed. It fermented and matured in barrels of different sizes where it matured for six months. It has moderate ripeness and 12.2% alcohol with very good freshness (pH 3.46) and acidity (7.45 grams), which makes it vibrant and pungent, with saline flavors and a super tasty finish. It is sharp, precise and mineral. 12,000 bottles produced." -Luis Gutiérrez
