Light yellow. Pungent aromas of orange skin, anise, salty minerals and jasmine. Sappy, finely etched orchard fruit and citrus flavors are braced by a chalky mineral quality and given depth by a subtle note of succulent herbs. A touch dry on the finish, with the salty note echoing.

I’d bet my house that if you tasted this without me having tipped you off, you’d never guess this is a producer’s “second wine.” And if that were indeed to happen, nobody could blame you for failing to guess that, as this is better than most Albariño producers’ flagship bottling. It shows lovely aromas recalling white blossoms that aren’t too perfumed, followed by juicy, utterly delicious flavors recalling white peaches and melons, with a squeeze of lemon to lend focus and edge. The flavors are underlain by light touch of saline minerality, which rides though the persistent, proportional finish.

Sourced from the Val do Salnes in Rias Baixas, this delivers good freshness with straightforward kiwi, lime zest and cantaloupe flavors alongside a good degree of tension. Enjoy in its youth. Drink 2020-2023.
