"The 2025 Albariño “Igrexario de Saiar” from Adegas Benito Santos is a beautiful and quite classic bottle; it is truly of exceptional quality for the estate’s entry level wine! The bouquet hops from the glass in a fine mix of pear, fresh lime, ocean breeze, a touch of menthol, a beautiful foundation of salty minerality and a topnote of white flowers. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and mineral-driven, with outstanding depth of fruit at the core, zesty acids, impeccable balance and grip and a long, complex and beautifully precise finish. This is first class Albariño, from vines that are farmed organically and with the wine fermented with indigenous yeasts. 2026-2036."
