Product details
Cadre Sea Queen Edna Albariño 2025 is a distinctive Edna Valley expression shaped by the close relationship between vineyard and Pacific coast. Cadre’s connection with Albariño dates to the mid-2000s, when the team helped establish ambitious New World plantings using cuttings originating from the Morgadio Estate in Spain’s Rías Baixas. Planted just five miles from the Pacific, the site shares notable maritime characteristics with the O Rosal subzone of Rías Baixas, where coastal hills, fog, wind, and ocean influence help define the growing environment. This setting gives Sea Queen its signature combination of vibrant acidity, pronounced minerality, bright citrus character, and coastal salinity, capturing Cadre’s vision of Albariño through the distinctive landscape of Edna Valley.
The aromatic profile opens with spicy citrus and salty zest, joined by orange blossom, jasmine, white flowers, and an exotic combination of citrus and tropical fruit, with subtle briny notes reflecting its coastal origins. The palate is energetic and tangy, bringing together citrus, white fruit, stone fruit, and lush tropical fruit supported by bright acidity from beginning to end. Lingering freshness, minerality, and characteristic salinity carry through the finish, giving Sea Queen Albariño its vivid and expressive coastal character.
