Rías Baixas, Galicia, Spain
Slightly reductive to start, then opens up to an incredible aroma of seaside citrus and tart tropical fruit. Palate is just-ripe pineapple, lemon, lime, and lime pith. At the core it is salty, rocky and acid. But also a faint perception of sweetness tempering the bitter note through the long finish.
Saline, delicious and unmistakably Albariño, but with a satiny, crystalline texture that’s riesling-esque. Remarkable wine of terroir. Needs a lengthy decant now, but will be better in 5-10 years when the acids integrate.
