For white wines
Albarín Blanco
Albarín Blanco is a rare, light-skinned grape variety indigenous to northwestern Spain, particularly flourishing in the regions of Castilla y León, Asturias, and Galicia. Despite the similarity in names, it is genetically distinct from the more widely known Albariño. Albarín Blanco is celebrated for producing aromatic white wines that exhibit a bouquet of ripe limes, lychee, mint, fig, and orange, offering a profile that intriguingly bridges the characteristics of Albariño and Gewürztraminer.
Historically on the brink of extinction, Albarín Blanco has experienced a revival thanks to dedicated vintners. As of 2016, the total cultivation of Albarín Blanco in Spain was recorded at 48 hectares (approximately 119 acres). This limited acreage underscores the grape's rarity and the exclusivity.
FOR RED AND ROSÉ WINES
Prieto Picudo
An ancient and rare grape native to the Spanish region of León, Prieto Picudo is a true hidden gem among Iberian varietals. Known for its small, tightly packed berries and pointed shape—where its name comes from—this grape produces wines with deep color, bright acidity, and intense aromatic expression.
Wines made from Prieto Picudo often display notes of red berries, violet, and licorice, with a balance of freshness and structure that makes them both elegant and bold. Whether vinified as a young red, a rosé, or aged in oak, Prieto Picudo delivers a distinctive character rooted in tradition and terroir.
Its limited cultivation and strong regional identity make it a flagship variety for those seeking authenticity, heritage, and expressive flavor in every glass.
For White Wines
Godello
Godello is a high-quality white grape variety native to northwestern Spain, particularly thriving in the regions of Galicia and Castilla y León. Revered for its balance of freshness and structure, Godello produces elegant, mineral-driven wines with notes of green apple, pear, citrus peel, and subtle herbs.
Often compared to Chardonnay for its aging potential and versatility, Godello can shine both in stainless steel and oak-aged expressions. Once nearly lost to history in the mid-20th century, the variety has undergone a remarkable renaissance, thanks to the efforts of passionate producers. Today, Godello stands as one of Spain’s most exciting white grapes, prized for its finesse and complexity.
