Zarate Albariño Val do Salnés 2023
Val do Salnés, Rías Baixas, Galicia, SpainFounded in 1707, the family owned Zarate estate is located in Rias Baixas' lauded Val do Salnés subregion. Their sloping, weathered granite vineyards are translated via albariño, a grape intrinsically associated with the estate. 7th generation Eulogio Pomares runs this historic bodega today, farming almost fully biodynamically. This is from 30 year old vines, fermented native, and with three months on the lees in stainless. Fragrant peach, pear, starfruit, grapefruit stream through the medium palate, lit with a shining acidity and textured with a granitic grip. Finishing bright and lemony, with a lingering salinity calling out for food.Tasted: 15 July 2024Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $31.00 | 750ml | consignment |
