Eidesola Charquino Albarino 2023
Prickly pear, small green apples, preserved lemon and a nice sense of tang, it is 100% varietal in a very stylish, smooth mid-weight register. With juicy acidity and a nice little nutty snap to close, the fruit tannins are perfectly handled (so often the Achilles heel of this tricky variety). Unbelievably good value - you just shouldn't be able to get it so cheap! Stainless steel handling, with 50% of the blend aged on lees in the tank.
Picturesq gold in the glass. Pleasant grassy and herb laden nose mixed with ripe, bruised and exotic fruit. Rich on the palate with good intensity, acid line and length. Refreshment and subtle minerality on show. Would pair nicely with a multitude of dishes, chicken and seafood come to mind. Great value.
