    The eponymous 2020 Albamar is an Albariño from many different plots, mostly on granite soils, fermented and matured in stainless steel and oak foudre where they look for an easy-drinking and fresh expression of Salnés by blocking malolactic fermentation. This is sharp and fresh—going back to the style of the 2018—integrated, has unnoticeable oak and is nicely balanced, with the stuffing to develop nicely in bottle.
