This was delicious. Unusual grape/region, but it has a bit of a Northern Rhone thing going on. Less heavy than many a Condrieu but some of the same underlying fruits and a notable creaminess. Also some salinity and good acid. Really excellent value.

Pale lemon. Muted stone fruit, pear and water melon aromas. The palate has pear, melon, apricot, greengage and nettle flavours and with soft textures with a hint of tangy salinity. Decent but lacks excitement.

Grassy and mineral on its nose, also some pinetree. Quite a nice alive mouthfeel full of rich flavor. Medium to full in body. Juicy yellow apple, some sweetness, some butter. Very delicious, and will buy another bottle. Would be great for the summer.

What a treat to find a great new winery (to me) and at the same time find a new grape (albilla). Very smooth, almost velvety, with a combination of mineral and melon. Doesn't get much better. Let's watch it over the next few years.
