Granbazán Etiqueta Ambar Albariño | 2021 | 12.5 | 75cl

Fresh almost tropical aromas then stone fruit and citrus on the palate with a creamy texture, mineral notes, vibrant acidity and classic saline characters. Quite ripe and complex in style but with fresh balancing acidity and a classic saline character. The 2021 vintage, as for many other parts of Europe, is a return to a classical style. In contrast to some recent warmer vintages the fruit character is more citrus than stone fruit based, showing lightness of touch but with zest and energy.
