Granbazan planted a winery in the heart of Rias Baixas wine country in 1981. At the time, the region was hardly known outside of the local community and pilgrims who reached the end of the Camino de Santiago on Spain’s Atlantic shore. The founders of Granbazan saw an opportunity to bring Albarino to a wider audience. Their list of firsts in the region is long. The first to use temperature controlled fermentation. The first to employ an enologist. The first to make wine from free-run juice, and for many people outside of Spain, it was their first taste of Albariño. We recommend this wine for your next taste of Albariño, a citrusy, spicy and salty joy with aromas of lime, green apple, pineapple, fresh ginger root and salt. The palate walks a tightrope between electric acidity and lightly creamy, full body. Flavors of apple and lemon and lime lead to a finish of lemongrass, beach roses and sea salt. A brilliant match for scallops, paella, or octopus dishes.
