El Reto Manchuela Albilla


First time with this varietal from Manchuela. Has a slight grey lemon tint that reminds me of some Alsatian Pinot Blancs, with a thicker mouthfeel like them. Lemon curd, Meyer lemons & I dare say a Burgundian feel, if not rather course. Drank in two halves, with plenty of air second time, which really benefited it. Very enjoyable, & for 17-19$, it’s a goddamn bargain

Bright, crisp, citrusy. Light; a bit austere.

Behövde tid för att öppna upp, inledningsvis en störande bitterhet, men med tiden kom fat och mognare frukt.

Saline, lime peel, green tea, green apple, white peach, jasmine, and wet stone. Moderate acidity with some phenolic bitterness. Medium body at 12.5%.

Fun Spanish white; amazing pairing with pickled sushi ginger. Otherwise, fine. Highly recommended if you're having pickled ginger for dinner.
