GranBazan Albarino "Don Alvaro"

Only in the best vintages: Made from grapes from old vines from the highest part of the Tremoedo estate. Very poor soils, with little fruit load, where leaf removal, green pruning has been done and the incidence of sun on the clusters is very high. The size of the berry is noticeably smaller than average. Cold maceration, fermentation at a very low temperature followed by a 12-month rest on the lees, giving the wine an extra dimension of aromas and roundness in the mouth. Perfect evolution in bottle for up to 5 years.

Tasting note: Opaque yellow color with golden reflections. The nose expresses yellow fruit, candied mango, quince and mandarin on a slightly herbal background reminiscent of fennel, chamomile and green tea, with subtle notes of beeswax and leather. In the mouth the acidity dominates at the beginning and gives way to a tasty unctuousness, the tension is prolonged and precedes a pleasant salinity that accompanies its long journey.

SERVICE TEMPERATURE: 10-12ºC

GranBazan Albarino "Don Alvaro" 2020	93 Decanter A lovely green character: gooseberry and lime aromas with a touch of smoke and spice. Flinty and mineral, very elegant and poised, racy acidity that is still tightly wound. A vibrant expression of fresh herbs with a long mineral finish.  91 Wine Spectator A bright, light-on-its-feet white that shows good focus to the flavors of pineapple, creamed pear, verbena and grated ginger set on a satiny texture. Long and creamy on the finish, where a salty base note gains momentum. Drink now through 2026. 750 cases made, 200 cases imported. 92 James Suckling A lightly waxy, saline and textured albarino that has aromas and flavors of sliced apples, citrus pith, seashell and chamomile. It’s medium-bodied and wonderfully fresh with a stony minerality and a long finish. Vegan. Drink now or hold.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
