Tasting Notes: This is 100% hand-harvested Albariño, from pergola-trained vines grown in the slate and marine soils of the O Rosal valley, just a few miles from where the Minho river meets the A... tlantic Ocean. As is tradition, Juste prefers to leave the wine in extended contact with its lees following the harvest, which adds to the multi-faceted nature of the wine's aromatics and flavors. In the glass, this gorgeous white wine has a shimmering, pale yellow color, with flashes of silvery-green at the edge. Freshly grated lime zest, peach blossoms, white tea, and Meyer lemon emerge on the nose, along with hints of quince, sweet basil, green apple skin and jasmine, as the wine spends time in the glass. On the palate, the wine is graceful and streamlined, with citrus, floral and herbal elements that echo the nose, all seasoned with concentrated sea-spray minerality throughout a super clean, lip-smacking finish. Drink now-2027.

The nine hectares of vineyards at Quinta Couselo date back to the twelfth century, when Cistercian monks from the Monastery of Santa María la Real de Oia tended to the grapevines. In 1864, Don Casimiro Dorado y Méndez acquired the property, which remained in the family until 2013, when his great-grandchildren sold the estate to José Manuel Martinez Juste and his partners. Juste grew up on his grandfather’s tiny vineyard in Ribadavia, the Galician town at the confluence of the Avia and Minho rivers, just over an hour inland from Quinta Couselo. Since obtaining his enology degree in Madrid, he has worked as a winegrower and consultant throughout Galicia, and from 2002-2014 was the president of the Galician Winemakers Association.
