2023 Brecon True Acacia Head (Last Bottles!)
There I was somewhat mentally unstable, standing on a table. Sometimes it's the only way to elevate the artistry in a blend. After all, Vincent did cut off his ear! In retrospect, judging by its innumerable awards over the last nine years, the then lofty decision to mature in Acacia barrels was closer to visionary than the madness of King George. Acacia adds structure, fills out the mid-palate, and aromatically gives an overlay of elegant white peaches or nectarines. All this on top of Albarino’s naturally, citrusy zesty bite. Try it with a sit-down banquet of baked Pollocks, we did!
