Iria Otero Sal Albariño 2025

If you’re looking for a fresh and easy-drinking style of Albariño, then you’ve come to the right place. It’s from the coastal area of Salnés in Rías Baixas - an area where ancient salt flats once stood in place of today’s vineyards (hence the name). The vineyards behind this wine are 20-25 years old, on a mixture of decomposed granite soils, which really enhance the fresh, saline character of the Albariño grapes. Iria ferments and ages the wine in stainless steel to preserve that freshness, leaving it on its lees for just 3 months to add a little texture and balance. She’s aiming for a fresh and fun style of Albariño, perfect for enjoying with friends, with or without food. And judging by the results, she’s done exactly that!
