The nose of the 2024 Zarate shows something savory, with a clear influence from the sea breeze and an almost salty twist in the finish. This is, of course, their flagship Albariño that always shows the character of the year, here very complete, with good ripeness, 13% alcohol and a very balanced mouthfeel. This is clean and precise, harmonious and elegant, with the chalky, slightly grainy finish from the granite soils. It's superb at this price point. 93 Pts - Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate

After the very warm 2022 vintage comes 2023, also warm but less so, with a rainy spring followed by a lot of mildew and then a mild end of the season—when the grapes ripened thoroughly, even the reds. 2024 was rainy and mild, a year of balance for whites but more variable for reds.
