Laurent Miquel, Solas Albariño, Southwest France, France 2021

Fleshy minerality, subtle saltiness and clear flavours of white grapefruit, pear and preserved lemon deliver an unpretentious yet expressive Albariño, without trying to emulate its Iberian benchmark counterparts. Floral touches and exotic fruit add intrigue. Pure, juicy with a vibrant zesty finish. One for seafood and creamy pasta.
