This is Albariño worth its salt, in magnum. It's the flagship of a small family cellar in Cambados, and the big bottle makes sense when a whole table and a pile of shellfish are involved. Xurxo Alba (say SURE-sho, the Galician form of Jorge) comes from a family that farmed Albariño in Galicia's Salnés Valley for generations. They only began bottling their own in 2006, once he finished his oenology studies. His cellar sits next door to his parents' restaurant and a little shop selling local artisanal foods, which tells you how this wine is meant to be drunk: at the table, with whatever came out of the water that morning. Every Albamar wine ferments on native yeast. Xurxo farms as naturally as rainy Galicia allows, and he makes sure the growers he buys from do too. The family owns only about 2.5 hectares and sources from about 10 in total. That's how Rías Baixas works: it's a region of smallholdings, and a careful grower like this one is exactly what's worth hunting for, especially in a format built for sharing.

More about Bodegas Albamar

Xurxo Alba inherited his family's Albariño vineyards in Rías Baixas and in 2006 began bottling under his own name. He's quickly earned respect as one of the region's most talented young winemakers, using natural yeasts—just 2% of producers in the region do—and blocking malolactic fermentation to showcase the saline minerality that comes from Atlantic-facing coastal terroir. His Alma de Mar captures maritime freshness with genuine depth. This is Albariño made with intention.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Pulpo a la gallega with paprika and olive oil; a big platter of raw oysters and steamed mussels; grilled sardines or razor clams a la plancha; empanada gallega with tuna; shrimp in garlic (gambas al ajillo).

Tasting Profile

Expect the classic Salnés Valley Albariño profile: lemon, white peach and green apple, with a saline, sea-breeze edge and a stony note from the granite soils. Typically light to medium-bodied with bright, mouthwatering acidity, it finishes dry, crisp and faintly salty, making it a natural partner for shellfish.
