100% Albariño from old vineyards on chalk and granite soils planted in the pergola system. Fermented and aged in stainless steel. Full malolactic fermentation.
Bright citrus and stone fruit lead immediately - lemon zest, white peach, and green apple - followed by a subtle saline note that keeps everything tight and focused. The palate is crisp and juicy with excellent acidity, a light lees-derived texture, and a clean, mineral finish that makes the wine feel refreshing rather than simple. This is Albariño doing exactly what it’s supposed to do.
Lagar de Condesa is a historic estate located in the heart of Rías Baixas, with roots that trace back to the 16th century. The property sits in the Condado do Tea subzone, the warmest inland area of Rías Baixas, where Albariño develops aromatic intensity while still preserving its signature acidity. The estate has long been known for traditional Albariño farming, with an emphasis on vineyard expression rather than cellar manipulation.
Today, the wines are produced with a modern but restrained hand, focusing on clean fermentations, careful temperature control, and preserving freshness rather than chasing power. The Kentia bottling is meant to highlight purity and drinkability - a deliberate stylistic choice that keeps the wine aligned with classic coastal Albariño rather than the riper, more international expressions that have become increasingly common.
