Since its inception in 1988, Bodegas Fillaboahas strived to make wines of great quality and personality. One of the only wineries in the D.O. RíasBaixasthat produces wines solely from estate-owned fruit, Bodegas Fillaboaalso crafts one of the very few single-vineyard Albariñosthat hails from their high-elevation vineyard, or FincaMonte Alto. The Albariñogrape variety is thick-skinned and known for its rich variety of aromas (16 different aromas have been scientifically recognized). Many consider it to be most closely related to Riesling and believe the name Albariño, stems from the phrase white Rhine in the local dialect of Gallego. Made in very small quantities, the 2008 FincaMonte Alto has mouth-watering aromas of fresh green apple, ripe pineapple and layers of mixed citrus fruits. Well structured with crisp acidity, this wine has great complexity and persistence, evidenced by its long and lingering finish.
