La Cana Navia Albariño 2024 (750ml) *

Description
Albariño reaches a different register when it comes from old vines and time on the lees, and this bottling from Rías Baixas in Galicia makes the case. Sourced from two sites in granite soils planted back in the 1970s, the fruit is aged on its lees for up to ten months, giving a wine with more texture and volume than the fresh, quaffable style the grape is often reduced to. Think of it as a step up in seriousness, medium-bodied and built to reward some patience.
The texture is the first thing you notice, creamy and lightly unctuous, carrying a core of white fruit alongside subtle pastry and barrel tones. A faint reductive edge speaks to its youth, and the wine still holds something back, but citrusy acidity runs the length of the palate and a pronounced salinity stretches the finish. Approachable now with air, it has the frame to grow more complex over several years in the cellar.

Expert Reviews
The 2024 La Cana Navia is from two vineyard sites in granite soils planted in the 1970s. It shines in refined texture and mouthfeel, with citrusy acidity throughout and pronounced salinity that adds length. Medium-bodied in intensity and volume, it’s essentially a barrel selection of the La Cana and should age even longer, with an ideal drinking window of 2026-2038. (Jeb Dunnuck, January 2026)
The 2024 Albariño Navia is sourced from Finca Iglesario in Meaño and Finca Playa in Cambados, combining different soil types. Aged on lees for up to ten months, it was just bottled. This has light pastry notes, subtle barrel tones and white fruit with a faint reductive hint typical of its youth. Creamy and slightly unctuous in texture, this reveals a core of fruit but remains closed for now. It will gain complexity with time. (Vinous)
