Las Moradas de San Martín Albillo Real 2020
Vinos de Madrid, Castilla-La Mancha, SpainLas Moradas de San Martín was founded in 1999 to recover the ancient vineyards of garnacha cultivated since the 12th century on the hilltops of Pago de Los Castillejos, on the edge of the Sierra de Gredos. The vines benefit from the altitude and, even more, critical granitic/volcanic soils that spawn freshness and minerality to this delicious white wine. Winemaker Isabel Galindo farms organically / biodynamically. Albillo Real is berry fermented natively, with one-quarter of the batch going through complete malolactic fermentation before it spends a short six months in 300 and 500 L French barrels. I love this wine awash in lively, savoury meadow grasses and wet stone fruit with an underbelly of chalk and lees. The nose is floral with tangerine undertones that lift the mid-palate creaminess through the almond and orange-streaked finish. There is enough acidity to keep it fresh, which was the perfect fit for our halibut.Tasted: 01 July 2022Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $41.99 | 750ml | select private retailers |
