Lanzarote Diego Seco

Fiano-esque with acidity. The Olive oil bottle alone is a masterpiece. I hear it’s Lanzarote Malvasia ❤️ 2021

Mind bender from Canary Island - first of all, beautiful bottle with custom flourish on the top opening. This wine is wild, so much saline & minerals, crushed seashells & stones, lemon/lime, dried tea leaves & herbs, some quinine… just so out here. Austere angular, all sharp edges & zesty acidity, and absolutely viciously bone dry. You have to get the food pairing right on this - we didn’t but still a cerebral exercise.

Mildly muted green tea with a rose gold shimmer

Lots of minerality, lemons and peaches on the nose. The wife gets a whiff of vanilla.
A very fresh, very stony, refreshing white.
Perfect for sushi.
Very interesting and long finish, like licking rocks, in the best way.
Someone mentioned Chablis-like, I can see that, crisp yet yellow/white fruited w sense of earth.
