About Coto de Gomariz, 'X', Albarino, Spain
Albarino X by Gomariz is a 5 star Spanish white wine and one of the most exciting white wines I have tasted all year. It is layered with ripe pear, white peach and citrus zest, wrapped around a fine mineral core that gives it drive and precision, yet there is also a lovely generosity and texture that makes it deeply satisfying. If you enjoy Macon or Pouilly Fuisse, you will love how delicious and complete this feels in the glass, and at its price it represents remarkable value for a wine of this calibre.
Produced by Coto de Gomariz in Galicia in north west Spain, this Albarino comes from old vines rooted in granite rich soils. The Atlantic influence preserves freshness and structure, allowing the wine to balance richness with tension. Careful winemaking enhances depth without masking the purity of fruit, resulting in a white that has both immediate appeal and ageing potential. It is a confident, premium expression of Spanish Albarino that comfortably rivals fine white Burgundy in style while offering outstanding value.
