Albariño de Fefiñanes 2022

Lovely fruit intensity with exotic notes of mango and macadamia on the nose. Zesty acidity, with good concentration and underlying salinity on the palate with a long lime and citrus finish.

Cristina Mantilla rates 2022 as a "great vintage" for Albariño in the Salnés Valley. This classic, textbook expression of the variety uses grapes from growers close to the bodega in Cambados and is enjoyably racy, fresh, yet concentrated with lime and stone fruit flavours, lots of sea breeze aromatics and some texture from partial lees ageing. 2023-27

The young and austere varietal 2022 Albariño de Fefiñanes comes from a warmer year when the grapes achieved a little more ripeness and the wine comes at 13% alcohol, juicy, clean, round and balanced, with enough freshness and acidity. It has notes of freshly cut grass and yellow flowers. It has a certain austerity, aging potential, purity and tasty flavors.
