Palacio de Fefinanes Albarino 2025 (750ml)
Product price
Description
Palacio de Fefinanes Albariño 2024 comes from Cambados in the Salnés subregion of Rías Baixas, Galicia's maritime wine country. This is Albariño in its classic expression: a coastal white built on brightness and mineral tension, here recently bottled and still settling into its form.
The wine opens with pear and apple fruit, framed by a subtle oxidative character and floral lift. Medium-bodied and slightly austere, it carries a soft salinity that echoes the Atlantic influence on the vineyards. The finish hints at aromatic development yet to unfold, suggesting this bottle will deepen and open further over the coming seasons. Drink it now for its freshness, or cellar it to watch those secondary notes emerge.

Expert Reviews
The 2024 Albariño de Fefiñanes is from Cambados in Salnés, Rías Baixas. This has a lightly oxidative profile with pear, apple and floral notes. It is medium-bodied and slightly austere, with soft salinity and floral hints. This was recently bottled and should gain in the medium term as the finish hints at aromatic precursors. (Vinous)
Albariño de Fefiñanes was first registered as a brand in 1928, and the original label and Rhine bottle have been preserved ever since. The grapes are sourced from local growers around Cambados (Salnés) and consultant Cristina Mantilla makes sure the wine retains a fresh, vibrant style, often enhanced with fennel notes. Wine lovers should also try the complex III Año, which is aged on its lees and released in its third year.
Stainless steel fermented, the 2024 Albariño de Fefinanes is from an excellent vintage, steely and classic in style, with concentrated flavors and aromas. It was fairly tropical year with a warm summer in the region, and the characteristics here reflect that, trafficking in citrusy grapefruit, pineapple, and mango, with an easy palate of creamy texture. Drink now. Now run by the third generation, this winery is based in the palace grounds and inspired by the whites of Germany, bottling their Albariños in Riesling bottles. They are a big proponent of aging the whites. (Jeb Dunnuck, January 2026)
