"Dandelion" by @nanclaresyprieto is an expressive
white wine from Rías Baixas, a coastal region in northwestern Spain & known for its crisp, mineral-driven Albariño (the same grape used in most Portuguese Vinho Verde). It bursts with flavors of salty peaches, juicy melon, and grapefruit.
@alberto_nanclares was an economist in Madrid before he and his wife moved to Rías Baixas to be closer to the sea. E While he didn't intend to become a winemaker, the land he purchased came with vines.
With the help of his neighbors, he gave it a go and later partnered with @silvia_prieto3 - a consultant and specialist in organic, traditional viticulture. Their dedication to purity makes all the difference in this iconic wine, transporting you to the Atlantic coast-it's my favorite Albariño to date!
• Organically farmed and crafted with a low-intervention approach, this wine's label depicts the region's traditional "parras" trellising system of growing grapes 7-10 feet high
to improve air circulation
(preventing mildew) and maximize sun exposure (promoting ripening) in humid vineyards.
Although Rías Baixas wasn't a major player on the international wine scene until the '80s and '90s, it now produces Spain's premier white wines-and more than half of the region's winemakers are women! — 3 days ago

Every time I have this I’m struck by the clear crisp citrus. So drinkable. Cuts through rich pasta meals like a dream. — 5 months ago

The WS team knocked it out. This is amazing. Crisp, dry and flavorful. Fruity yet balanced. Love it — 2 months ago

At first I found this medium bodied, slightly creamy, with prominent stone fruits, white peach and cumquat, with a prominent minerality and slight notes of cheesecake on the nose. Now it’s emerging much more dry with air, still a long, mineral driven palate, still medium bodied, but beautifully balanced and definitely a contract to many California white wines when it comes to complexity and nuance. — 5 months ago

Nose - gardenia, chamomile, ocean and clay pot. Appearance - Super duper clean. Beautiful light straw color. Main tasting notes - tart lemon all day with a little bit of grapefruit. Pretty acidic with a longer acid finish but the acid works well with the lemon flavor. Really nice with a spicy summer chicken dish. Not always a fan of acidic whites but this hits the spot. — 7 months ago

All about the nose on this. Compact, deep core of raspberry and pomegranate. Finish hangs — 2 months ago

Complex, but approachable. This is an excellent Barolo. If you see this wine, buy it. — 10 months ago
