Rías Baixas Barrica Albariño

Bright and clear deep gold. Inviting nose and medium full palate of minerals, tart yellow apple, and birch. Medium plus acidity. Light, oak-generated tannins. Lengthy continuing finish. A burly Albariño that drinks like a White Burgundy. Take it to similar places. Drink now through 2026 or so.

From one of their highest plots. Medium lemon color with rich stone fruits, citrus and floral spice aromas, fermented in stainless and aged in French oak for 10 mos, with batonnage. On the palate ripe apple and peach flavors with lemon citrus zest. Long finish, bright mineral notes come through on the rich ending. Ok but a bit pricey.

Feb 14th, 2021Star bright pale yellow gold. Light nose and medium palate of yellow apple, satsuma, and white flowers with a touch of birch and anise in the moderate finish. Medium plus acidity. A fresh, rich take on Albariño. The barrel treatment subtly adds body and richness without taking away from the classic bright qualities. Drink now through 2025.
