Granbazán Albariño Etiqueta Verde 2023
Val do Salnés, Rías Baixas, Galicia, SpainFounded in 1981, Granbazan was one of the original quality pioneers in the region, and first estate to invest in modern winemaking equipment and trained enologists. Their 13.5ha vineyard is located in Vilanova de Arousa, one of the villages in the Val do Salnés. Like most of Salnés, the vines are rooted in granite, planted en parra on granite pergolas about 2 metres above the ground to maximize wind exposure, and decrease humidity. Packed in a distinctive bottle, and sealed with an eco cork, this entry into their portfolio was native fermented and rested 3 months on lees. White peach, pear skin, green apple is interwoven with a buzzy granitic grip, and bedded with a layer of stony lees. Fresh, bright, and welcoming, yet serious.Tasted: 14 November 2024Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $32.00 | 750ml | consignment |
