Albarino
We had arrived without appointment and also requested an English speaking staff member and the team was still able to arrange our tasting in an efficient manner. The tasting was at a great pace and there was no wait time between tastings.
We were attended by three different staff all of which had an extraordinary knowledge of the wines and their wine making methods. They were able to talk us through all aspects of the wine, winery and background behind the operations
Really friendly and hospitable, we had a very enjoyable time. English, French and Spanish tours are offered
