Second go with this ethereal summer-styled Xurxo Alba light (10.5% ABV) red made on espadeiro - purity & crispness defined. Medium-ruby & fully translucent in the glass. Nose opens with a red berry symphony - strawberries & forest raspberries, backbone cranberry attitude, rose petals, tea leaves, black pepper running through the veins. Palate is mildly speaking light - though without lacking elegance or depth, fruit-driven & clean with pronounced acidity, finishing on a juicy, salty & truly mineral-exposed note.

Summer wine of 2022. Light-ruby in appearance. Nose brings forest strawberries and raspberries, fresh cherries, herbs. Palate is surprisingly round in view of alcohol, v refreshing, great acidity, velvety tannins. Served chilled.
