Palacio de Fefinanes 2020 Albarino 1583 750ml

This limited production classic is made from specially selected grapes growing on  low altitude thin loamy sand soils that lie over granite; and is named to celebrate  the year in which the Palace was restored. Lustrous pale lemon ice water in hue;  with ripe fruit on the nose and elements of candied/crystallized fruit too,  complemented by fresh citrus notes and a gentle toastiness that reflects its very  subtle oak treatment.  Young, certainly, and dry, there’s nonetheless a lot going on here with its plethora  of primary fruits (melon and white peach) and an abundance of herbal elements  riding subtly side by side – all culminating in an awesome finish.  I’m particularly proud of this vintage as never before have I managed such a good  balance of ripeness, youth and complexity.  -- Cristina Mantilla, Winemaker

Bodegas Palacio de Fefinanes was the first producer to bottle wine under the DO Rias Baixas denomination. Most of the wine is made from purchased fruit under long-term contract, all of it from 100% Albarino. -robertparker.com
