Adegas Gran Vinum Esencia Divina Albarino 2023	92+ View from the Cellar The Esencia Diviña cuvée from Adegas Gran Vinum is a step up from their entry level wines, as this is crafted from fifty year-old Albariño vines, planted on sandy soils of decomposed granite. The 2023 version shows the added depth of these old vines, offering up scents of tart pear, fresh lime, white flowers, ocean breeze and a lovely base of salty minerality. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, complex and beautifully proportioned, with a fine core, lovely soil signature, zesty acids and a long, poised and seamlessly balanced finish. Fine juice that will age very well indeed and be an even more complex glass of wine with three to five years in the cellar. 2024- 2035+. +.
