Really enjoyed this. High-toned and explosive nose, white tea, orange blossom, ripe white peach, phenolic grip holds all that acid back, balanced

Surprise wine of the night. There's a subtle sweetness and creaminess that I wasn't expecting, like muscat. There were the tell-tale Albarino signs of nectarine, melon, gala apples, almond...but it was that interesting texture and almost honeyed touch that put it over the edge into excellence. Fantastic wine.

2015. Ripe and unctuous, loaded with tropical fruit, tangerine and melon. Surprisingly refreshing considering it's weight.
