L'avis des experts
The 2023 A Graña comes from a vineyard in the parish of Adina, and it has a different personality, not only because of its lower alcohol level (11.7%), contained ripeness and higher acidity but because it fermented and matured in a chestnut barrel (and 200 liters in stainless steel), kept with lees for nine months. The nose has a different profile, spicy and with notes of ... chestnut flowers?, with a slightly wild/rustic edge that I love. The palate is bright and vibrant, with effervescent acidity that makes you salivate. This is a collaboration with Jos-e Manuel Domínguez and Adrián Guerra with grapes from the Xesteiriña vineyard. 1,256 bottles and 13 magnums produced. It was bottled in May 2024. (Luis Guitérrez)
Alberto Nanclares and Silvia Prieto source this Albariño from a single parcel on diorite soils in Sanxenxo. Fermented and aged in stainless steel and chestnut barrels, this is a complex, layered, petrichor-scented white, with appealingly low alcohol, layers of laurel, dried honey, wax and wet stones and an appealing bitter twist. 2025-29

Espectacular lo de este albariño
Bebido en mayo de 2025: puede que el paso de los años lo conviertan en un gran vino, pero de momento la acidez lo domina todo.
