Steely, mineral, clean and pure, herbs and flowers, chalky nose, estery fruit, yellow prune, tightly wound but not austere, elegant and linear, very good length.
A blend of Treixadura, Loureira, Godello and Albariño, fermented and aged for 9 months in stainless steel at low temperature. Decanted. Relatively full colour; mineral, floral, cool, more than a hint of seabreeze, good stuffing of ripe fruit but not fruit-driven, nice tension with the slightly edgy acidity, hint of bitters, nice touch of buttery nuttiness (macadamia); good length.
