Details
This limited-production Albariño opens with an aromatic burst of citrus and stone fruit - ripe lemon, mandarin, and white peach - layered with jasmine, honeysuckle, and a touch of fennel. Subtle mineral notes, beeswax, and white pepper add depth. It's got refreshing salinity with a creamy texture, making for a complex and effortlessly delicious white.
In the foothills of the Andes, where the sun-drenched soils of Mendoza meet the cool mountain air, Viña Las Perdices tells a story of family, perseverance, and innovation. The story began in the 1950s, when Don Juan Muñoz López arrived from Andalucía with little more than his determination and a dream, carving vineyards out of the untouched lands of Agrelo. What began as long, dusty days under the Argentine sun has since grown into one of the region’s most pioneering wineries - a family estate where hard work, curiosity, and deep respect for the land remain at the heart of everything. Founded officially in 2004 by Don Juan’s sons, Las Perdices continues to honour its roots while embracing forward-thinking winemaking that celebrates both tradition and experimentation. Today, the winery stands as a proud symbol of Agrelo’s spirit - a place where altitude, Andean meltwater, and mineral-rich alluvial soils come together to create wines of remarkable character and balance. With vineyards sitting over 1,000 metres above sea level, Las Perdices crafts an extensive portfolio that ranges from classic Malbecs to adventurous varietals like Albariño, Ancellotta, and Gewürztraminer - each an exploration of how far the terroir can express itself. Every bottle is a tribute to the land, the legacy, and the enduring belief that great wine begins with passion, patience, and place.

Pairing guide
This Albariño is tailor-made for seafood, from the simplest to the most refined preparations. Think seared scallops with a citrus beurre blanc, oysters with a splash of lemon, or grilled prawns with a fennel and herb salad. Its bright acidity and saline notes also make it excellent alongside ceviche, sushi, or lightly spiced Thai fish dishes. For a vegan option, try it with a roasted cauliflower steak drizzled with preserved lemon and herb vinaigrette, or a chilled summer vegetable salad featuring cucumber, fennel, and green melon - the wine’s creaminess and mineral lift beautifully highlight the freshness of the produce.
