I’m beginning a series on Albari\u00f1o, which is a white grape from north east Spain and Portugal (where it is known as Alvarinho). My mission over the next few months will be to try as many examples as I can, learning by comparison. Eventually, this September, I will be making my first wine, which will be from Albari\u00f1o, with two wine trade friends. But more on that later. For now: this, I reckon, is the best example of the Albari\u00f1o grape I’ve encountered.<\/p>\n

\n12.5% alcohol. This beautifully packaged wine was fermented and aged in chestnut foudres of 1200 litres, and it’s quite thrilling. The grapes come from seventy year old vines in Castrelo-Cambados. This is brilliantly complex with some apple, lemon and pear notes on the nose, and a really taut, lemony palate with lovely texture as well as well integrated, bracing acidity, and a crystalline quality to the fruit. It flirts with oxidative characters, but manages them beautifully, and it’s just so long and mineral in the mouth. A profound example of Albari\u00f1o. Stunning. 96\/100 (UK agent Indigo Wines)<\/p>\n\n
