The very young and faintly reductive 2021 Albariño, it’s austere, sharp and vibrant, and the back label specifies one to three years, which to me is not its drinking window but the time you should wait before pulling the cork... It's quite shy and austere, like sea breeze and spring water. It should develop further complexity with age. This has to be one of the most elegant and ethereal vintages for this wine.
The 2020 Albariño is only starting to show a little complexity in a very complete year of good ripeness and balance. There is great purity and elegance here. It comes though as very balanced and clean.
The flagship 2019 Albariño is young, fresh and fruit-driven, quite similar from vintage to vintage, a little reductive when so young, but with varietal notes of white fruit and flowers, freshly cut grass and a citrus touch. The palate is harmonious and tender, with good volume and freshness, finishing dry.
With a collection of apple blossom, acacia, peach and flint aromas, this fairly full-bodied Albariño offers a mix of plumpness and alluring flavours, namely nectarine, apple and white peach. Complex notes of sea brine, minerality and saline propel a sophisticated finish.
The regular 2017 Albariño is sold early with primary aromas and flavors and good structure that should allow it to age nicely in bottle. 2017 saw a very early harvest, low yields and concentrated wines. This was bottled without malolactic, after four to five months with the lees. This is young and fresh, clean and open, with aromas of white flowers and freshly cut grass complicated by hints of bay leaf. The palate is fresh and tasty, ending with a salty sensation.
