April 26, 2024 - Double Blind tasting
Pale gold color
Medium aromas of candied lemon and yellow florals with mild noted of grass and green herbs with dry rock minerality
Medium bodied with palate of fresh lemon/ orange and apple with distinct minerality at back of palate
Medium plus acidity and medium alcohol with mild to moderate phenolic bitterness
Medium length led by acidity and bitter notes
I went with Albarino here due to my perhaps overcalled phenolics - didn't really pick up the pyrazines until after the reveal
In any case I really liked this SB - very different from both Loire and NZ
My first encounter with this wine and quite impressed
