Zarate
El Palomar Rías Baixas Albariño
Rías Baixas, Galicia, Spain
Limpid, green-tinged yellow. Bright and incisive on the nose, displaying intense citrus and orchard fruit aromas complemented by suggestions of jasmine, iodine and sweet butter. Sappy, penetrating and seamless on the palate, offering sappy pear nectar, peach, tangerine and honeysuckle flavors that deepen through the back half, with no loss of energy. Closes with repeating pear and floral notes and a lingering suggestion of dusty minerality. Raised in a 2,220-liter neutral oak cask, with full malo. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, June 2021)
