Morgadio, Rias Baixas (Galicia, Spain) Albariño 2013

($22, Classical Wines from Spain): Morgadio’s 2013 is to Rias Baixas what Martínsancho’s 2013 is to Rueda–a classic example of the denominacíon.  If you want to know what all the fuss is about Rias Baixas and its indigenous grape, Albariño, just taste this wine.  It has spice and palate-tingling energy, but more depth and length than many other wines from that DO.  Its savory, slight bitterness makes you salivate and return for another sip.  It’s a good choice when searching for a white that packs a bit of punch.
