Albariño de Fefiñanes 2021

There was a lot of thirst for the new vintage as the wines from the region sold out, so there are a handful of 2021s in the market, including the super young and austere 2021 Albariño de Fefiñanes. It's from a cold year that delivered a wine with 12.5% alcohol and a sharp palate with very good freshness and acidity and pungent flavors. This is a prototype of austere Albariño with aging potential, great purity, freshness and balance. 170,000 bottles produced.

One of those textbook Albariños that delivers the goods, year in, year out, this is a very pure expression of the grape, with no lees ageing at all. Sourced from vineyards in the Cambados sub-region, all on decomposed granite soils, it has lovely pear and lime zest flavours and engaging focus, minerality and stony freshness. Hard to beat at the price. 2022-26
