2024 Adegas Gran Vinum - Albarino Rias Baixas Nessa (750ml)
The entry-level cuvée from one of Rías Baixas' most consistent producers, sourced from 20-year-old vines grown on decomposed granitic sandy loam soils at 40 meters elevation. Hand-harvested and sorted, whole-cluster pressed in a pneumatic press, fermented and aged three months on fine lees in stainless steel before bottling — a clean, precise approach that lets the terroir speak. Brilliant straw in the glass, with mineral-tinged aromas of orange, pear, and florals complemented by a hint of quinine. Lifted aromatics with a light floral tinge, substantial body driven by energetic acidity, and very pure fruit notes recalling ripe peaches and lemon curd — versatile enough to flatter everything from raw oysters to richer finfish dishes. Outstanding QPR. Drink now
