Sunday, September 13, 2015 - Appearance: Clear wine with a pale lemon colour with bright green inflections.
Nose: Clean nose with a Medium+ intensity. This wine is youthful.
An aromatic and fresh nose - ripe pear, peach and lemon combine with white flowers and honey. Very expressive and pleasant if not overly complex.
Palate:
Dry
Medium+ acidity
Medium alcohol
Medium intensity
Medium body
Medium+ finish
The godello and treixadura are more present on the palate, softening the acidity and rounding the flavours. Still quite lively, fresh and stone-fruit driven. I would like to do a side-by-side comparison between this and Terras Gaudas as I believe the styles and intentions are quite similar.
Good quality Albarino blend from Ribeiro. Should be drank now and at around 10 euros a bottle, this further proves the incredible value of Albarino wines.
