Santiago Ruiz - Albariño

Santiago Ruiz is one of the established names in Galicia's Rías Baixas, producing Albariño from the Atlantic-cooled vineyards of Spain's north-west coast. The appellation is defined by granite soils, high rainfall and a briny maritime influence that marks every bottle.

Expect the variety's signature profile: bright acidity, stone fruit and citrus zest, with a saline, almost oceanic lift on the finish. A natural at the table with seafood — shellfish, ceviche, grilled fish — and composed enough to carry a white-sauce pasta or a lighter poultry dish.
