Granbazán Etiqueta Verde Rías Baixas Albariño

Founded 1981, Granbazan an original quality pioneer in region, 1st estate to invest in modern winemaking equipment. Pale lemon with medium+ aromas of stone fruits, citrus and floral. On the palate apple, white peach, pineapple, citrus and honeysuckle flavors. Vivid acidity on medium+ finish ending with flinty notes. Great now, bottle age will not benefit. Tasting Sample.

Bright, green-hued straw. Aromas of quince, melon and nectarine are energized by a hint of lime zest. Concentrated but surprisingly lively, offering densely packed and incisive citrus pith, bitter pear skin and honeysuckle flavors that deepen steadily on the back half. Shows impressive clarity and lift. Finishes very long and precise, leaving persistent mineral and floral notes behind. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, March 2019)

I like this more than the last bottle I had about six months ago. Really beautifully developing-- good Albariño with a few years on it has really become one of my favorite things to drink.
Saline, white florality, tropical fruits further deepening with age. Good acid backbone.

I should buy more.

Well-balanced, hints of citrus, honey-suckle white flowers.

Really solid balance - citrus, acidity, and mineralogy
