Winery: Zarate ‘El Palomar’
Vintage: 2024
Country: Spain
Region: Rias Baixas
DO: Rias Baixas
Grape: Albarino
Tasting Notes: An exotic nose, slightly honeyed papaya dominates, which carries to the rich palate, balanced with sanded orange acidity and crushed charcoal. A step up and away from fresh, lithe white wine, into a new profile that demonstrates maturing depth and expression. This lovely white was inspired by techniques employed in Rioja, where the wine sits on its lees for extended time in neutral oak barrels, then aging in bottle before release.
