  September 8, 2021 - A blend of Albariño (68%) and Narince (32%). Made according to a minimum-intervention philosophy. 13,7% alcohol.
  
  Yellow-green color. Somewhat restrained yet enjoyably fragrant nose with a bit light aromas of quince, some floral notes of white flowers, a little bit of waxy funk, light apple tones and a hint of stony minerality. The wine is bright, clean and moderately complex on the palate with a medium body with some nice sense of concentration and subtly funky flavors of quince, some ripe red apples, a little bit of herbal spice, light stony mineral tones, a hint of waxy funk and a touch of cantaloupe. Nice, balanced and quite structured high acidity. The finish is clean, long and quite acid-driven with bright, fresh flavors of quince and red apple, some waxy funk, a little bit of savory spice, light stony mineral tones and a sweeter hint of exotic fruits.
  
  A nice, balanced and quite characterful white where the leaner, mineral-driven flavors and higher acidity of Albariño and the sweeter, more tropical fruit flavors of Narince play nicely to each others' strengths. Although the wine is clean and harmonious, there's a subtly funky undercurrent to the flavors reminding that this is a rather natural wine, even though it might not be that obvious from the start. All in all, a nice and thoroughly enjoyable little white with good sense of structure and harmony. Perhaps a bit on the pricey side for the quality at approx. 32€, but not forbiddingly so.
