Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 13, 2020 - As we remain in Galicia, another wine from the talented non-interventionist wine maker, Laura Lorenzo. This time a blend of Malvasia and Verdejo. With community holdings of only six bottles, a rare find indeed.

In the glass, the color is a pale, hydrated yellow. A lemon sharpness hits the roof of the mouth and draws the tongue up. I find myself squeezing my cheeks in search of more fruit in vain. The finish is more of wood and herbs -- fennel comes to mind. I have the slightest hint of cork on the finish, which distracts my attention, unfortunately.

This wine has a certain New World weight and viscosity. It's not a picnic wine nor a wine to serve with delicacies. With utmost concentration, I place this wine among my memories of an Australian Semillon from say Brokenwood.
