2023 Brecon Albarino (SLO Coast) *Last Bottles*
Bowl you over with a feather kind of wine. Most folks just never see it coming, it even knocks those “red wine only” aficionados off their lofty perch! This is the pure expression of the vineyards that started Brecon on its wildly successful Albariño ride. Aromatic as ever, it veritably jumps from the glass with hints of Sauvignon Blanc and day lily blossom (that edible flower). Being varietally true it's all citreen, with crisp fresh limes dominating the palate. It is so refreshing, yet the finish is surprisingly rich with a softness and biscuity toastiness reminiscent of a classic champagne.
