Discover the best wines made with Albillo mayor as a single variety or as a blend of Madrid.
Structured, fat dry whites with a pale golden robe, an ample palate and preserved acidity of refined yellow fruits (pear, peach, apricot), candied citrus, white flowers, fennel and calcareous mineral notes. Fine lees-ageing potential. Emerging star of Ribera del Duero DO whites (officially approved in 2019) on the Castilian high plateaus. Native Spanish grape of the upper Douro valley, descendant of hebén, in full qualitative revival.
High-altitude Spanish DO (600-1,000 m), a qualitative renaissance led by old Garnacha vines. Sun-drenched, fine Garnacha reds with signature notes of ripe cherry, wild strawberry, garrigue, white pepper and a granite mineral touch, silky tannins and altitude freshness — San Martín de Valdeiglesias leads. Fleshy Tempranillo (Tinto Fino) at Arganda. Native Albillo Real whites, ample and floral (pear, honey).
