Headed by eminent winemaker Eulogio Pomares, this Albariño, made in waving
distance of Spain, on the lower slopes of the Minho River, was the stand-out old
world white at a panel tasting with our Premier Crew. The position of the
vineyards means the the soil is slightly heavier and the diurnal temperature
difference more gentle leading to a rounder, more supple style of Albariño that
nevertheless has all the grape's zesty, citrus and grassy appeal.
"Although translated as “the hare and the tortoise”, thankfully this vegan wine
contains neither. Created on the Spanish-Portuguese border, this has all the
characteristics you’d expect from an albariño – fresh zest, lively citrus,
aromatic herbs – without being overly tannic, making this a good value for
money. A young white that’s great to drink now."
