Albamar 2021 Alma de Mar Albarino 750ml

I only tasted the 2021 Alma de Mar, because the 2022 had not yet been bottled when I visited the winery in September 2023. It comes from a vineyard planted in the 1980s, 0.3 hectares on granite soils with some clay. This is the only Albariño where they work the lees with bâtonnage, 100% in stainless steel. It's quite smoky and leesy, with a round palate and integrated acidity.
