Hailing from the sun-drenched vineyards of Pays d’Oc, the 2024 Vignobles Foncalieu ‘Extraordinaires Sillages’ Albariño is a testament to the region’s exceptional terroir. Scoring a well-deserved 95 points, it unfolds with a vibrant bouquet of fresh citrus, fragrant peach blossoms and a hint of salinity that speaks of its coastal origins. On the palate, it’s a refreshing medley of ripe nectarine and zesty lime, balanced with a crisp, mineral finish that lingers. This Albariño is a delight on its own, but truly shines when paired with fresh seafood, making it a perfect companion for a beachside picnic or a clam bake. Given its outstanding quality, this wine delivers well beyond its peers, making it a truly great value find.
