Description
Discover the exquisite qualities of Bodegas Gallegas `Sentidiño` Rías Baixas Albariño 2023, a vibrant white wine crafted from the finest Albariño grapes sourced from three unique subzones in Galicia, Spain. This remarkable wine embodies a careful selection of fruit from coastal vineyards, resulting in a harmonious balance of fresh aromas and nuanced flavors.
The 2023 vintage showcases a delicate fusion of citrus and stone fruit notes, characterized by:
- Aromatics: A refreshing bouquet of tangerine zest, jasmine petals, and grassy undertones that awaken the senses.
- Palate: A lively, bright experience with notes of grapefruit and white peach, complemented by a subtle touch of salinity.
- Finish: A crisp, invigorating finale with lingering citrus zest and a delicate bitterness, providing a perfect balance.
The meticulous approach to vinification involves:
- Destemming and separate fermentation of each Albariño plot in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks.
- A cool maceration at 10ºC for 4-6 hours followed by a carefully monitored fermentation process to preserve the wine's crisp aromatics.
- Sustainable vineyard management practices honed over 30 years, ensuring exceptional grape quality and flavor integrity.
Serve the Sentidiño Rías Baixas Albariño chilled at a temperature of 45-50°F (7-10°C) in a slender white wine glass to enhance its aromatic complexity. To elevate the experience, consider the following pairing suggestions:
- Accompany with citrus-marinated shellfish ceviche, allowing the wine’s acidity to refresh the palate.
- Pair with lightly grilled saffron shrimp or scallops served with lemon butter sauce for a delightful complement.
- Present a tantalizing tapas selection featuring herb-infused olives, Manchego cheese wedges, and almond-stuffed piquillo peppers.
- For a creative twist, mix with fresh cucumber juice and a splash of elderflower liqueur for a refreshing cocktail.
- Perfect for outdoor entertaining or beachside dining, where the wine's crispness pairs beautifully with light, herbaceous dishes.
Enjoy this elegant dry white wine that embodies the essence of the Galician coast and immerse yourself in the refreshing, timeless experience it offers.

Storage advice
For optimal storage of white wine:
- Temperature: Store unopened white wine at a consistent cool temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) to preserve its crispness and flavor. Avoid temperature fluctuations which can damage the wine and cause premature aging.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light to prevent degradation and off-flavors.
- Bottle Position: Store the bottle lying on its side to keep the cork moist preventing it from drying out and allowing air to enter.
- Humidity: Maintain a moderate humidity level ideally around 70% to keep the cork in good condition and avoid shrinkage.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle remains sealed with the original cork. Once opened reseal with a wine stopper and consume the wine within a few days as white wine oxidizes relatively quickly when exposed to air.
- Additional tips: Avoid storing white wine for extended periods in a conventional refrigerator as prolonged cold can dry out the cork. Use a dedicated wine fridge or cool stable environment. Chill opened bottles to about 45°F before serving to preserve freshness.
For opened bottles tightly reseal and store in a refrigerator at around 45°F and consume within 2-3 days for best quality.
