JEB DUNNUCK 95 POINTS-"The wine that started it all and continues to represent half of the producer’s production, the 2024 Sparkling Albarino Octopus is tank-fermented on native yeast to ensure the Albariño shines through varietally, with a short tirage of six months after six months in tank. Always incredibly good, the light-bodied bubbles taste fresh and crunchy in apple and apricot. Drink now through 2034.The Gomes family has been farming on Andrus Island since the 1800’s when they immigrated from Portugal, where Albariño (Alvarinho) is grown extensively in Vinho Verde near the Atlantic Ocean. This site has deep, rich soil, well fed from the Sacramento River. It is dry farmed without cultivation and is transitioning to organic farming certification."
Freshly disgorged and ready to drink now! As always, it wouldn't hurt to pair it with some grilled octopus.
