Production
The Albariño grapes come from the highest part of the Tremoedo estate in Valle del Salnés, with low yields and small berries. After destemming, and cold maceration for 8-10 hours, they are fermented in stainless steel. The wine is then aged in Limoiusin oak barrek for 4-6 months, with at least 12 months on fine lees.
Tasting notes
Granbazán Limousin shows that Albarino can be world class - not just when lees-aged, but also with careful oak maturation. The aromas explode out of the glass with ripe peach, melon and marzipan character. Though this richness carries on to the palate, there is fantastic tension and brightness on display too. Alongside all the fruits the wine has lightly spicy notes and a saline, refreshing finish.
Food match
Would pair well with smoked haddock and morrel mushroom dishes
