L'avis des experts
There were more iodine and low-tide notes in the nose of the 2021 Pepe Luis, with herbal and moss aromas, while the smoky notes were more in the background. The vintage is more marked in this wine; this is sharper and more austere than the rounder 2020 that I tasted next to it, despite both being balanced, fresh and harmonious. 6,100 bottles were produced. It was bottled after spending 17 months in two 2,500-liter oak foudres.
You can really smell and taste the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean on this high-end Albariño from the brilliant Xurxo Alba, made with grapes from five parcels on sand and granite soils in Castrelo. Iodine and laurel aromas segue into a typically racy, chiselled white, with lots of struck match reduction and a very stony, bone-dry finish. 2024-30
One of the great wines of the region, this has an expressive nose reminiscent of grapefruit and white flowers. The palate is really energetic, driven by texture and acidity. Complex and multidimensional. This comes from two neighboring parcels in Castrelo close to the ocean. Aged for about 10 months in used barrels. Drink now.

El que mas nos gustó de la cata en bodega de gran parte de los vinos que elabora Xurxo Alba, con el plus de sus explicaciones (añada 2020)
Espectacular. Uno de los mejores albariños de Rías Baixas que he catado.
Aunque es untuoso se aprecia ciertas notas discordantes. Valoración Rxm 92.
Floral, cítrico y fruta madura. Notas ahumadas. Complejo y mineral en boca, buena acidez. Final largo. En buen momento de consumo.
