Zarate Rias Baixas Albarino 2025 22BDX A splash of water opens

Cailleret sits on the midslope just south of the Puligny border

Zarate Rias Baixas Albarino 2025 22BDX A splash of water opensZarate is the benchmark name in Rias Baixas, a family estate now in its seventh generation under Eulogio Pomares, farming the granite soils of Val do Salnes biodynamically. This is the heartland of Albarino, and Zarate's flagship bottling shows exactly why: estate vines averaging over 35 years, wild yeast fermentation, and time on the lees give it real character. Expect a bright, saline white with lime, orchard fruit, and an oyster shell minerality
