Description
The Sucesores de Benito Santos – Albario Ras Baixas is an elegant and expressive white wine from the renowned Ras Baixas DO in Galicia, north-western Spain. Founded in 1988, the Sucesores de Benito Santos winery has built a legacy of excellence in winemaking, with a focus on Albario, the regions flagship grape. The family-run estate is dedicated to producing wines that reflect the unique coastal terroir of Ras Baixas, where the Atlantic Oceans influence creates the ideal conditions for Albario to thrive.
This Albario offers a vibrant and aromatic profile, with fresh citrus notes of lemon and lime, complemented by green apple and subtle hints of white blossom and fennel. On the palate, it is crisp and refreshing, with a balanced acidity that gives the wine a lively, zesty character. The texture is silky, with a touch of minerality that reflects the granitic soils of the region, and the finish is clean and persistent, leaving a lingering impression of fresh fruit and a hint of saltiness.
Winemaking at Sucesores de Benito Santos involves hand-harvesting the Albario grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel to preserve the wines freshness and purity. The wine is then aged on its lees for a short period to enhance its texture and complexity, allowing the characteristic fruitiness of Albario to shine through while adding depth.
The Sucesores de Benito Santos – Albario Ras Baixas pairs beautifully with fresh seafood, shellfish, and Mediterranean dishes, making it an ideal choice for enjoying with grilled fish, seafood paella, or oysters.
