EL JARDIN DE LUCIA ALBARINO, RIAS BAIXAS

Nose: Lifted and intense ripe citrus and stone fruit

Palate: Intense, vibrant fruit and is textural with more weight than is usual for Albariño yet still with elegance and finesse. The finish is complex with bright acidity and a refreshing saline twist

Food Pairing: Fresh white crab, or simply grilled fish such as seabass, squid and sardines

About the wine: An Uvas Felices project - in partnership with Bodegas Zarate in Meaño. Albariño grapes are selected from 20 small plots around the towns of Cambados and Ribadumia, in the province of Pontevedra. The soils are shallow and sandy, and the climate mild and humid. After hand-harvesting in September, the grapes are fermented, using only the natural grape yeasts, in stainless steel at controlled temperatures. The wine spends 4 months on lees before bottling
