New to a range that takes inspiration from the low-yield, micro-terroir Bordeaux ‘garagiste’ approach, this Albariño is from granitic soils in the east of the Maldonado province, 22km from the Atlantic ocean. Fermented in oak using native yeasts and no added sulphites, aged in the same barrels – French, two-thirds new – with no malolactic fermentation but with 15 months on the lees. Sarah Jane Evans MW: Can Albariño work with oak ageing? In this case, yes. There is ripe, supple, typical fruit with red apple, tangerine and lemon. A harmonising creaminess from the oak adds complexity. Roger Jones: A luxurious bright, clean mouth, rich but focused, with pure citrus curd and racy saline freshness. Classy. Dirceu Vianna Junior MW: Elegant and inviting nose, attractive grapefruit, peach and a hint of sweet spices. Purity of fruit with a wonderful creamy texture and lively freshness.
