Jul 31 - Aug 2 : Fulcro In-store Tasting
Fulcro的Albarino白酒是夏日必備,特別適合喜歡飲清爽、礦物感十足的白葡萄酒的朋友!這酒莊來自西班牙Rias Baixas,完美展現當地沿海的獨特風土。曾在El Bulli當了13年侍酒師的Ferran Centelles在2021年Jancisrobinson.com盲品時大讚Fulcro:「最有潛力的小酒莊,酒款能呈現真實風土之餘,又超好喝!」
Fulcro由Manuel Moldes Morana在2009年創立,面對大西洋那溫和又濕潤的氣候,用Val do Salnés的老藤葡萄,釀出純淨又迷人的酒。
Fulcro的Albarino有甚麼特別?比起很多用不銹鋼桶陳年、輕盈好喝的同區Albarino,Fulcro奉行少干預路線,摒棄除蟲劑,並遵循可持續發展的釀酒方式,按土壤類型裝瓶。酒款不做乳酸發酵,以保留清新的酸度和結構,陳年時間長達9至20個月(一般5至6個月),常用舊橡木桶,帶來更飽滿的酒體、複雜度,不只是Albarino典型的花香、柑橘與鹹鮮風味。
今個星期五(8月1日)就是World Albarino Day啦🥳!來跟我們一起在中環店慶祝吧!今個星期四至星期六(7月31日-8月2日),無需預約,隨時過來試試這些好酒!

Fulcro’s Albarino wines are a summer must-have for fans of crisp, mineral-driven whites. Hailing from Rias Baixas, Spain, the wines beautifully reflect the unique coastal terroirs. Ferran Centelles, former El Bulli sommelier for 13 years, praised Fulcro in a 2021 Jancisrobinson.com blind tasting: “The most promising of the small producers, making extremely authentic and tasty wines.”
Founded in 2009 by Manuel Moldes Morana, Fulcro crafts pure, captivating wines from old vines in Val do Salnes, facing the Atlantic’s mild, humid climate.
What sets them apart from other Albarinos in the region? While many are stainless-steel aged for light, immediate enjoyment, Fulcro uses minimal intervention, no pesticides, and sustainable practices, bottling by soil type. The wines skip malolactic fermentation for vibrant acidity and structure, aging 9–20 months (vs. the typical 5–6)—often in used oak—for fuller body, complexity, and unmatched intensity beyond standard floral aromas, bright citrus, and salinity.
This Friday (Aug 1) is the World Albarino Day🥳! Celebrate with us at our Central shop this Thurs - Sat (Jul 31–Aug 2)! Drop by, no reservations needed, and taste these gems.
