2018 Brecon Albarino
That clever little man, Matt Kettman, from the Wine Enthusiast, must truly have an amazing crystal ball tucked away. He suggested in 2018 we do some single vineyard offerings of Albarino. Consistency is important to our white offerings so we literally thought “well that's probably never going to happen”. Well low and behold just seven months later we release this 100% single vineyard offering. That's a first for us, but it's just not labeled as such. Aromatically it jumps from the glass with hints of sauvignon blanc and lily blossom. It is varietally true, being all citreen, with crisp fresh limes dominating. So refreshing. The finish is surprisingly structured with a softness/biscuity toastiness reminiscent of a classical champagne.
