Wine Description
One of the oldest Albariño plantations produces a wine that has subtle complexity. By being aged on lees, the wine has a fresh and fruity taste that evolves from the first sip to the last.
Tasting Notes
A bright straw-colored yellow, this Albariño is full of fresh varietal
perfumes, like flowers and fruit (apple, pear, or citrus). It has
a wide range of balsamic reminders and fine toasted nuances. On the palate the wine is
very elegant, wide and fresh, broad and long, as well as very juicy and
expressive.
