Floral bouquet, smooth, rich and velvety texture, hint of strawberry and tart plum, light yet rich enough to pair with a creamy pasta dish. — 8 months ago

"Dandelion" by @nanclaresyprieto is an expressive
white wine from Rías Baixas, a coastal region in northwestern Spain & known for its crisp, mineral-driven Albariño (the same grape used in most Portuguese Vinho Verde). It bursts with flavors of salty peaches, juicy melon, and grapefruit.
@alberto_nanclares was an economist in Madrid before he and his wife moved to Rías Baixas to be closer to the sea. E While he didn't intend to become a winemaker, the land he purchased came with vines.
With the help of his neighbors, he gave it a go and later partnered with @silvia_prieto3 - a consultant and specialist in organic, traditional viticulture. Their dedication to purity makes all the difference in this iconic wine, transporting you to the Atlantic coast-it's my favorite Albariño to date!
• Organically farmed and crafted with a low-intervention approach, this wine's label depicts the region's traditional "parras" trellising system of growing grapes 7-10 feet high
to improve air circulation
(preventing mildew) and maximize sun exposure (promoting ripening) in humid vineyards.
Although Rías Baixas wasn't a major player on the international wine scene until the '80s and '90s, it now produces Spain's premier white wines-and more than half of the region's winemakers are women! — 2 days ago
Complex, but approachable. This is an excellent Barolo. If you see this wine, buy it. — 10 months ago

Nose - gardenia, chamomile, ocean and clay pot. Appearance - Super duper clean. Beautiful light straw color. Main tasting notes - tart lemon all day with a little bit of grapefruit. Pretty acidic with a longer acid finish but the acid works well with the lemon flavor. Really nice with a spicy summer chicken dish. Not always a fan of acidic whites but this hits the spot. — 7 months ago

Paired with a beautiful roast Spanish prawn, with chorizo and peppers, At first on the shelf there was only 2015s, but then I noticed the display bottle was 2012, so YOINK! Deep rose color with slight orange hues to the edges but no bricking even at 13 years old. Big spicy nose with hints of sharpie marker, black olives, plum and, as @Tiva Feltman described it, “old movie theater”. The spice could even be interpreted as hints of pineapple even! Medium to full bodied, with a big palate where the spice and energy continues, zinging the palate, with a flavor that lingers for LONG after the first sip. So much freaking energy, with flavors that remind me of artificial rasberry, black olives, tar, cigar smoke and some serious vegetal notes, almost like spicy kimchi and rich granite or pencil led. It just keeps going and it’s def a great value that could age forever. — 15 days ago
