About Bodegas As Laxas
Bodegas As Laxas has a long and rich tradition reaching back to 1862. A fire destroyed the winery in 1960, but the family rebuilt it with new winemaking equipment and technology. The family-run winery was one of the first in Rias Baixas to receive D.O. status. Here is a link to the tech sheet on the 2015 Laxas Albariño posted by Frontier Wine Imports.
I did find the 2015 Laxas Albariño at my local Costco. It is a tasty wine at a very good price. I really appreciate the opportunity to add some variety to the white wines I find at this price point here in NorCal. The winebuyer(s) at Costco have, as of late, provided some very good imports at great prices. I hope they increase their efforts to do so.
