Albariño is Spain's most celebrated white grape, and the Rías Baixas region of coastal Galicia is its spiritual home — a green, Atlantic-influenced corner of Spain where ocean breezes, granite soils, and high-trained vines produce whites of extraordinary freshness, aromatic complexity, and natural acidity. Alba Vega Albariño is a beautifully expressive example of everything that makes this grape so loved by wine drinkers around the world.
From the first pour, it's lively and inviting, with a bright pale straw colour and a bouquet of fresh citrus — lemon zest, grapefruit, and lime — intertwined with white blossom, green apple, and a characteristic stony, mineral quality that comes directly from Galicia's granite-rich soils. On the palate, it's bright and precise, with crisp acidity and a clean, refreshing finish with a delicate saline hint that speaks of the nearby Atlantic coast.
Albariño's naturally high acidity makes it one of the world's finest food wines, particularly alongside seafood and shellfish. In Galicia, it's the traditional accompaniment to fresh fish, octopus, and all manner of coastal produce — a pairing that has been perfected over centuries and simply works every time.
Pair with oysters, mussels, grilled langoustines, sea bass or turbot, grilled prawns, sushi and sashimi, or a simple platter of chilled shellfish. Also excellent with light salads, goat's cheese, and tapas. Serve well chilled at 8–10°C.

Best red wine we've tasted, all bottles packaged well and received in good condition
Absolutely recommend all of the wines, some I did not think I would enjoy but loved them all.
Really great having a nice glass of wine to go with my meal.
A real treat, can’t wait to order again
Lyre's Sparkling has a very pleasant taste and stands out in the "zero" space. It arrived very promptly after ordering from The Wine Shop.
We invited the lovely Rector of our parish church (the oldest church in Surrey) over for supper with her equally charming husband a while back. They were very kind enough to bring a bottle of this wonderful wine with them as a gift. We liked it so much I subsequently ordered 7 bottles from The Wine Shop to be delivered. I can recommend the wine AND The Wine Shop highly. In fact I have just placed a further order for another 8 bottles.
This one was a surprise find at a local restaurant, so we sought it out to order more. It's hard to describe a flavour, as much as it is to describe sound, but it may be easier to recount my experience of it. Here goes... It has good balance of fruit and body; it doesn't dry the mouth nor kill my palate after a single glass. It's a Primitivo from Puglia, so it has that character. Definitely recommended.
Thought I would give this wine a go as it was a favourite of Winston Churchill, well what can I say but Winston had great taste in red wine. A lovely dark red colour and a deceptive first slurp brings a super easy drink which then catches up to you with a powerful warm feeling in your stomach. Let’s just say it’s dangerously good. 😉
This is my second order of 12 bottles! Lovely wine, easy drinking! Mellow, light fruity notes and a clean refreshing finish!
This Primitivo is waaaay above the equivalent you would be able to buy in a supermarket at a comparable price point.
It pairs really well with Lasagna and rich meaty pasta dishes. Stands up well with strong flavours, such as garlic.
In fact it would pair well with a beef stew from any country, goulash etc.
It is also a lovely velvety wine that could be enjoyed on its own after the meal.
Fantastic value and easy drinking, in a good way.
Great service from the he Wine Shop, really quick delivery well packed and the wine was splendid.
Wine Shop offered the best price and I can highly recommend them.
My first ever wine from the Wine Shop! This is a beautifully smooth wine but which also has a bit of ‘bite’. Very happy with this wine and I’ll be back!
Bought this as a present for my 22 year old son who was 15 when he first had a taste on a D Day visit 7 years ago. The wine is just as I remembered it, smooth and round, a delicious drink. My son also enjoyed the taste, as an adult.
It doesn’t get better than this!
I love Botter chianti. It has a great peppery finish and the bottle is a delight. Quick and reliable delivery too.
Amazing wine and a 24 hours delivery service.
Excellent service. Thank you
Very moreish sparkling Pinot Grigio at a reasonable price. Light and refreshing with none of the acidity or slight chemical aftertaste you often get with sparkling wines at this price. Went through a dozen bottles far too quickly.
