Winery: Zarate ‘Balado’
Vintage: 2024
Country: Spain
Region: Rias Baixas
DO: Rias Baixas
Grape: Albarino
Tasting Notes: A total stunner of an Albarino from a reference-point producer, this is a highly textural, mineral wine with a gravelly granitic mouth feel overlaid with apple florals and grapefruit zing. Aromatics and texture are beautifully matched: pretty jasmine, elderflower, granny smith, green citric zest, zippy acidity, and a delicate bitter herb crunch to finish. Superb.
