Benito Santos Albarino
| Vintage: | 2021 |
|---|---|
| Description: | Certified Organic. Benito Santos is a central figure in the modern history of Albario and the Ras Baixas D.o. He began working in his grandfather's vineyards in the 1930s and made wine for serving in his bar - wines that repeatedly won prizes in the annual Fiesta de Albario in Cambados. He was instrumental in the creation of the Ras Baixas D.o. in the 1980s. All of the vineyards are now certified organic - a rarity in rainy, mildew-prone Ras Baixas - and winemaking uses only native yeasts and minimal sulfur. Benito Santos wines are salty, mineral, and structured, with ample fruit but none of the overly tropical flavors of many industrially-produced Albarios. |
