Salnés Valley, Rías Baixas - 100% Albariño from granitic soils. Fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel, 75% of the wine is aged in used oak barrels for 9 months. This is Manuel Moldes' most affordable wine, yet it offers unbeatable value within its price range. You won't find fruity aromas of banana or selected yeasts here; in the glass, it displays a clean and defined aromatic profile, with notes of white fruit, citrus, and a saline background characteristic of the Atlantic climate. On the palate, it stands out for its freshness, tension, and balance, with well-integrated acidity that lengthens the wine and makes it especially food-friendly.
It's an ideal wine to accompany seafood, fish, and Atlantic cuisine, where its saline profile and precision enhance the flavors of the dish without overpowering it. It also works very well with more complex dishes where freshness and verticality are desired.
Bodegas Fulcro A Pescuda 2025 is an excellent choice for those seeking an authentic, limited-production Albariño with clear aging potential within its style. Best enjoyed after 1 or 2 years of cellaring. 93 points from Parker for the 2024 vintage. Recommended by El Sumiler.
