Description
Albamar Ceibo
El Ceibo is the first wine of the project in Valdeorras, made with 100% godello and partially aged in oak barrels for 8 months. The Ceibo has beautiful characteristics. With its light creamy-chiffon lemon fruit, a soft mix of cinnamon, nutmeg and a touch of oak. Underneath is fine fruit and the wine slowly changes towards peach and papaya flavors. Medium straw yellow in color, attractive nose of minerals, herbs, pear and peach. Concentrated, spicy and dry with an exceptionally fruity character. This has clear burgundy traits with 1 big difference! Namely the price. Very limited production, on average only 6,500 bottles are bottled.
Albamar Winery
Albamar is a family winery that began its journey about 25 years ago. Albamar places great importance on the care of the vineyards and the production of Albariño wines with a unique character and a special personality. In 2006, one of the family's children took over the reins of the winery; Xurxo Alba PadÃn, dedicated body and mind to winemaking. From this moment on, the company is baptized with the name Bodegas Albamar, this is a fusion of the family name and the proximity of its vineyards to the sea, and in turn is integrated into the RÃas Baixas.

The warmer and drier 2022 Ceibo was produced with the juice from destemmed grapes (they don't want to lose any acidity and even less in a warmer year like this); it finished fermenting slowly in two 2,500-liter oak foudres; it did not go through malolactic; and it was kept with fine lees that were not stirred for seven or eight months. It has notes of hay, yellow fruit, cereals and pollen, with good ripeness and 13.5% alcohol. It's still young, a little closed, with a soft palate and a velvety mouthfeel. Some 6,500 bottles were produced. It was bottled in May 2023.
Xurxo Alba PadÃn keeps planting more vines to increase his vineyard holdings (the total will be close to seven hectares of vines planted since 2020). In 2024/2025, he will plant the last half hectare with Albariño, CaÃño, Espadeiro and MencÃa. As for the current wines, we tasted 2021 and 2022, including some wines from Valdeorras and Ribeira Sacra. He compared 2021 with 2017, two years of very fresh wines. Some of the 2021s have to be the finest wines he has ever produced. I found the reds more difficult than ever. He has also started producing some ancestral sparkling wines.
