Nanclares y Prieto ★ 4.6
Castrelo, Cambados · Lugar de Castrelo 79, 36634 Cambados, Pontevedra, Spain
Nanclares y Prieto's twelve Salnes parcels are certified organic under the Consello Regulador da Agricultura Ecoloxica de Galicia (CRAEGA), the Galician certification body whose label code ES-ECO-022-GA appears on certified bottles. The bodega's seaweed compost and indigenous-yeast fermentation extend the organic framework into a more minimal-intervention approach across the cellar.
Tip: Look for the CRAEGA logo on the back label as the official Galician organic certification mark.
Adega Pedralonga organic Albarino ★ 4.5
Castrelo, Cambados · Lugar Castrelo 96, 36634 Cambados, Pontevedra, Spain
Pedralonga's 7.5-hectare granite-soil cru has been farmed organically since the 1982 planting, certified under CRAEGA. Whole-bunch pressing without added SO2 and lees ageing for six months produce a minimal-intervention Albarino that has been the family's working approach for over four decades.
Tip: Pedralonga has been organic from the original planting; the 2007 transition added biodynamic practices on top of an established organic foundation.
Bodegas Corisca organic Albarino ★ 4.3
Salceda de Caselas, Condado do Tea · Barrio de Corisca 5, Entienza, 36470 Salceda de Caselas, Pontevedra, Spain
Bodegas Corisca, between Tui and Salceda de Caselas in the Condado do Tea, is the pioneer certified organic bodega of DO Rias Baixas. The 4-hectare estate is mainly Albarino (averaging 35 years old) with half a hectare of Caino Branco. The bodega started in 2005 and spent four years preparing land, restoring the family manor and complying with CRAEGA, the Consello Regulador da Agricultura Ecoloxica de Galicia.
Tip: Corisca is the pioneer certified-organic bodega of DO Rias Baixas and one of the few CRAEGA-certified options in the Condado do Tea subzone.
