2021 Albarino by Bodegas La Caña, Rais Baixas, España.
Rais Baixas as is situated in the Galicia region of northwest Spain.
Bright floral aromatic nose with notes of jasmine, peach, nectarines and sweet citrus. Very pleasant.
Body is nicely balanced. That sweet Meyer lemon zest really pulls forward, drawing a mild tension and lending a little body to a smooth mouth feel. Slightly under-ripe peaches, white plums are followed by a decent amount of minerality that coats the lips in increasingly moist layers. This defines the finish. Warm, moist lips.
This is a nice, well executed Albarino. For the price, an exceptional value and if you’re like me, can’t think of a better introduction to Basque Wine Country. Bien hecho!
