Quinquenio means five years, which is how long this 2018 Albariño spent on its fine lees before Toni Alonso bottled it in 2023. Deep straw with golden glints; ripe citrus, dried apricot, honey, herbs and salt on the nose. Powerful and silky on the palate, with stone fruit, citrus zest, almond and an acidity that makes you forget its age.
Not an aperitif wine. We would open it at 10 to 12 °C with an aged cheese or fish in butter sauce, and pour it into a large glass.

The winery
Toni Alonso makes two white wines, just a few hundred bottles a year. His Quinquenio grows at 280 metres among shards of granite and spends five winters in the cellar before it goes on sale.

Because of the Atlantic. In the Rías Baixas the climate is mild, it rains regularly and the air is humid. On a pergola the grapes are better protected from the damp and ripen evenly. The granite soils give the wines freshness and minerality, and the sea breeze from the nearby coast adds to it. That is where the salty edge in the glass comes from.
