Bodegas Zarate was one of Rías Baixas pioneers who had great aspirations for creating benchmark Albariño when the region attained its official appellation status in 1988. Zarate continues to produce extremely limited productions of single vineyard wines which have a somewhat cult following amongst wine aficionados. The productions are, in fact, so small, that we've never had a bottle carry over from one vintage to the next! - Ron van Vlaardingen, GVWM Fine Wine Sales Director

The 2023 Balado has aromatic intensity and is still very primary and undeveloped, combining power and good development of aromas and flavors with more finesse and elegance. It has 13.5% alcohol and a velvety texture; it went through full malolactic, which gives some creaminess, but it's neatly balanced by the granite minerality. The wine is still fresh and has longevity. 4,200 bottles and 150 magnums were filled in early June 2024.-Luis Gutierrez, The Wine Advocate

2022 Bodegas Zarate Albariño Tras Da Viña

The 2022 Tras da Viña has a golden color and a more exotic nose compared with the 2023s I tasted next to it. It's a wine that is bottled one year later. It has 13.5% alcohol and is intense, with pungent flavors and a dry mouthfeel with the granularity of the granite soils. I think the 2022s are going to evolve a little faster. There are some 6,200 bottles and 150 magnums. It was bottled in June 2024. - Luis Gutierrez, Wine Advocate

The finesse and intensity to this are very impressive, with a salt, honey, cedar, almond and dried lemon character. The depth and complexity are fantastic. Spicy and minerally with a chalky touch. Very long and complete finish. Best ever. April 2024 bottling. Drink now. –James Suckling
