Fruity & Powerful

Bodegas Chaves, Castel de Fornos Albariño

White wine | Rías Baixas DO

The flagship of the Chaves family!
Albariño is a grape variety that immediately seduces, and here is a superb example, with its intense aromas of white flowers, pear, apple and citrus. Lively and silky at the same time, it is a refreshing, expressive, very pure white wine. It bears the name of the Chaves family's first vineyard, the second winery registered in the Rias Baixas appellation that she helped create!
