Castro Martin Family Estate, Rías Baixas (Galicia, Spain) Albariño 2021

 Albarino is the perfect warm weather wine, like this one from the Castro Martin Family Estate with its focused, concentrated flavors of Meyer lemon and white grapefruit charged by mouthwatering acidity.  Domingo Martin-Morales found and acquired a property where he built a winery 1981.  He was apparently a forward-looking man, because he installed the first stainless steel tanks in the region, before the appellation was established.  He was also an innovative man, building a three-story winery that allowed the winemaking process, including the delivery of grapes, crushing, fermentation, bottling and aging to flow with the help of gravity.
