La Val Albariño 2023

Rías Baixas, Galicia, SpainThis is a refined, gently perfumed albariño with a combination of white grapefruit, apricot, white blossoms, and fresh fennel. It has lovely texture and concentration on the midpalate, with a touch of phenolic bitterness on the finish, perhaps from four hours of skin contact (40% of the blend). This is sourced from La Val's three estates, covering three different soil types: granite in Taboexa; alluvium and pebbles in Arantei; and schist in Vilachán.Tasted: 03 November 2024Tasted by: Prices:
