Pazo Torre Penelas, Blanco Granito, Rías Baixas, Galicia, Spain 2021

Incredible purity in this Albariño fermented in granite vessels and aged for 12 months on the lees in stainless steel. Subtle creaminess and assertive acidity, underpinned by zesty lemon and white grapefruit. White orchard fruit at the core, crunchy and grippy. Very well defined yet a bit coiled - some cellaring potential here as it will unlikely unfurl in the next five years in bottle.
