Wine Advocate: 94 Points

The 2022 Balado, quite similar in soil and vine age as the Palomar, has the sensation of the granite soils. It's a powerful Albariño with 13.5% alcohol, and it didn't go through malolactic, as they thought the wine had the balance without it and the extra acid makes the wine more balanced with the riper fruit. It's clean, tasty and quite drinkable already. 4,600 bottles were filled in May 2023. This is the first of the single-vineyard wines to be bottled. 94+

Vinous: 92 Points

The 2022 Albariño Balado is sourced from a vineyard planted in 1950 in Salnes, Rías Baixas, and underwent up to six months of aging on the lees. The complex aromas feature green apple and minty notes, accompanied by faint bakery hints. Simultaneously rich and crisp, this saline white lingers on the palate with a fairly clingy finish—a distinctive and tasty Galician wine.
