About The Winery

Country: Spain
Region:
Rioja

The Bienbebido collection is a fun, highly focused project by Vintae, created to answer a simple question: what is the perfect wine to drink with specific dishes? To find the answer, they gathered a group of oenologists, sommeliers, and chefs to experiment with different pairings. They unanimously concluded that a fresh, silky white was the absolute best match for the unique texture and flavor of octopus "Pulpo". The result is this unpretentious, incredibly refreshing Spanish Albariño.

Terroir: The grapes are sourced from stony soils in Northern Spain. This geology, combined with the cool regional climate, is essential for cultivating Albariño that maintains a razor-sharp natural acidity while developing a distinct, wet-stone minerality.

Style: A 100% Albariño wine. The 2025 vintage delivers the crisp, bright, and highly aromatic profile that makes this grape so beloved.

Vinification: To preserve maximum freshness and primary fruit aromas, the wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks at strictly controlled, low temperatures. It is then aged on its fine lees for 4 months in the same tanks, undergoing partial malolactic fermentation to soften the sharpest edges of the acidity and build a smooth, silky texture that beautifully complements seafood.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: A bright straw yellow hue with vivid greenish and golden reflections.

Nose: Highly fresh and intensely aromatic. It leaps from the glass with vibrant notes of sour green apple, zesty lime, and fresh lemon peel, underpinned by a distinct, clean mineral aroma reminiscent of wet stones.

Palate: Crisp, easy-going, and remarkably silky. The attack is driven by a very pronounced, mouth-watering acidity. Flavors of tart citrus and crisp orchard fruits dominate the mid-palate. The finish is clean, refreshing, and fiercely thirst-quenching, naturally inviting you to take another sip.
