2024 Brecon Albariño (New Release)
Brits like our winemaker inevitably get burnt to a crisp in the summer. Roll out the string vests and knotted hankies, then spend five days getting excited about “silly mid off” and “square legs”. So it was no surprise that Brecon was initially considered barking mad for hanging their hats on an Albariño. The wine, of course, is nothing but serious. Particularly after a string of Best-In-Shows for previous vintages. Aromatically, it jumps from the glass with hints of elderflower and lily blossom. It is varietally true, being all citrine, with crisp fresh limes dominating. Ahhh, so refreshing. The finish is surprisingly structured with a softness/biscuity toastiness reminiscent of a good champagne.
