Founded in Santa Cruz del Retamar in 1999, Arrayán was orginally focused on international grape varieties. Under the leadership of Maite Sánchez, head winemaker since 2009, attention has switched to indigenous varieties such as Albillo Real, from which Sánchez makes two wines from two sites in the Sierra de Gredos, one in Cebreros and this ‘outstanding’ example, aged for eight months in 300L and 500L French oak casks. David Williams: Downy, honeyed oatmeal and savoury flavours, a touch of nutty oiliness, fleshy green olives and quince. Not high acid yet still feels fresh and agile. Matthew Forster MW: Complex secondary notes of straw, saffron and hazelnut. Firm, structured finish. Ines Salpico: Pleasantly fleshy with an elegant nutty aspect – glazed almonds, frangipane – adding some sweetness and intensity.
