Unusual and Intriguing
"The history of this wine and where it comes from in Spain is fascinating. It explains why the Medusa is so different and intriguing, A gentle wine with a wide scope of flavour that can be enjoyed with any food."

From 34 countries.
Tasting 16,000 wines.
And only one Albariño could be crowned the best.
The 2023 Félix Solís Medusa Albariño – the world’s No.1 Albariño.
Awarded 96 points and voted Best Albariño at the Decanter World Wine Awards.
The judges declared it the equal highest-rated Spanish white across the entire show. Out of 16,000 wines, this was the standout in its class.
And now, fresh off the boat and exclusive to The Wine Collective, it’s your turn to taste what the fuss is all about.
It’s a big call, isn’t it – to say the best Albariño on earth? Especially when we’re talking about a humble white wine from the windswept Spanish coast. But that’s Albariño’s magic. Quietly confident. Understated. For fans of Pinot Grigio or Chablis, it’s a must-discover.
This is Albariño in full voice – orchard fruits, salty minerality, and a zip of freshness that makes the glass impossible to put down. Here's the Decanter Tasting Panel:
“Joyous lime and gooseberry intensity with a touch of fennel which pervades the lifted acidity and textured mineral structure. Vibrant and zippy with a classy finish.”
The world’s best Albariño. And an incredible price.
Overall rating: 4.6 / 5 from 5 reviews.

"The history of this wine and where it comes from in Spain is fascinating. It explains why the Medusa is so different and intriguing, A gentle wine with a wide scope of flavour that can be enjoyed with any food."
"This is a very good wine, lots of orange pith and grapefruit, excellent balance of fruits, sugars and acid. Only downside is it makes you keep drinking it. Perfect on its own or with fish or lighter meats and salad - bring on Summer!"
"This gorgeous piece of every description apportioned to a white wine fills the mouth with immense pleasure. I was first introduced to Medusa by the Sommelier at a Michelin Restaurant in Sans Sebastian. He encouraged me to ignore the wines matched on the menu and enjoy a bottle. He was so right. It shocks and surprises as you identify every element this wine possesses. Truly a must try."
"Good wine, just what I thought it be like. good value."
"Seems to get better with air. Maybe needs time"
