Maior de Mendoza Finca Las Tablas Albariño 2016 Blanco

Maior de Mendoza, Rías Baixas

The first take of this producer into barrel aging is really subtle (the wine spends 12 months in stainless steel tanks and 6 months in oak). Grapes are sourced from arguably the northernmost plot in the Salnés valley planted on a steep, granitic-sandy slope facing the Atlantic Ocean. The fine, complex nose (citrus fruit, fennel, camomile flowers) is followed by an unctuous round palate with nice balance leading to a finish evocative of herbs and dry stones. Very much alive. Great potencial ahead 17.0 points
