"Albino is a Blanc de Noirs, sold as a ros,, that's made with direct-pressed Ca¡¤o Tinto fromCastrelo. Stainless steel fermented before ageing in older French wood, it has engaging pearand wild strawberry flavours, a hint of colour and a touch of pepper spice. 2024-28"

"The non-DO blanc de noirs 2023 Albino has a copper color and a perfumed nose with notions of dried rose petals and talcum powder, a little balsamic, perfumed and attractive. The red varieties tend to ripen less, and this has only 11.5% alcohol, keeping a low pH (3.16) and notable acidity, 7.2 grams. It finishes vibrant and tasty. It matured in oak barrels for eight months. It was bottled in May 2024. 2,666 bottles produced."

"The 2022 Albino displayed a yellow color without any hints of rosé, as the Caíño red grapes were terser, the skins didn't break and they didn't let any color into the wine. Despite having less alcohol than the 2021 I tasted next to it, the wine feels a little heavier, less vibrant and with a different profile. It has notes of orange peel, and there's less complexity, obviously because it has one year less in bottle, but it still feels more straightforward. But with time in the glass, the wine seemed to suffer a transformation, getting fresher and more complex and nuanced. A white chameleon?"
