L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

The nose of the 2023 A Cesteira transported me to the Albariños from yesteryear, fragrant and developed, open, expressive and nuanced, mixing notions of freshly cut grass with flowers, yellow fruit and pollen. It's Albariño from a single plot on schist and clay soils from vines averaging 45 years of age, fermented in stainless steel and matured in 2,500-liter oak foudre for 10 months. It has fine granularity, an incredible texture, sleek and polished, smooth and elegant. All the whites show contained ripeness and around 13% alcohol, like this one, which has a pH of 3.36 and 7.7 grams of acidity. 4,600 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2024.

James Suckling:

This is unique, with an herbal character and a distinct nose of fresh herbs and white fruit that’s very attractive and saline. Precise, incisive and well balanced. The palate is nervy and intense yet delicate, showing nuanced flavors with a saline thread throughout. From a 35-year-old, 0.7-hectare plot planted on schist soil. Aged for 12 months in used French oak. Drink now or hold.
