From the coolest part of Rias Baíxas the Casal Caeiro Albariño ‘Sobre Lias‘ is a vibrant and aromatic white wine that highlights the elegance of Albariño Pale straw yellow in colour, it offers an enticing bouquet of citrus fruits, green apple and pear, layered with floral notes and a touch of salinity. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and textured, revealing flavours of zesty lime, white peach and a hint of almond. The “Sobre Lias” aging on fine lees enhances its complexity, providing a creamy texture and a long, mineral-driven finish. Casal Caeiro was established in 1986, in the coolest section of the Rías Baixas DO, where the fashionable Albariño grape flourishes. From the outset, the winery incorporated several advanced features that are now more widespread, such as stainless steel storage tanks and a three- storey design that allows gravity flow to replace pumping. There are eleven hectares of vineyards, between twenty-one and fifty- one years old, trained on pergolas to help with air circulation and prevent the build-up of moisture to which 1700mm of rain per year can lead. The soils are sandy on granite and quartz subsoils. Grapes are hand-harvested into twenty-kilo baskets and then hand-sorted in the cellar.A fine wine awarded 91 points by Tim Aitkin. Enjoy it with fresh oysters, grilled prawns, or seared scallops. It also complements sushi, ceviche, or light pasta dishes with citrus-based sauces. Vegetarian pairings like asparagus tart or lemon risotto enhance its zesty profile, while mild cheeses like Manchego or goat cheese provide a delightful match.
