2020 Palacio de Fefinanes Albarino

From a widely admired producer who buy from about 60 growers. 100% Albariño. Low-temperature fermentation in stainless steel; ageing in stainless steel until bottling in February 2021. Available early May. Closure: natural cork. TA 6.9 g/l, pH 3.4, RS 3.8 g/l. Definitely superior to most of its peers and already with some breadth and undertow despite its youth. Is it lower-than-average yields that make the difference? This is such a revitalising wine! It would be great both with and without food and has admirable persistence. Imagine sea-soaked lemons and you get a rough idea of the character but it`s far from skinny or austere. 16.5 points
