88 points- "Recommended Spanish Wine Value." - Wine Advocate, Issue 181, February 2009.TASTING NOTES:
"Light yellow. Spicy citrus and pear aromas are brightened by white flowers and ginger. Racy, precise and pleasingly bitter, with strong lemon zest and pear skin flavors. This tightly wound albarino shows a lively, persistent finish. A very good value and a great choice for summer guzzling." -Steven Tanzer, International Wine Center.
"Bring on the citrus train with boxcars loaded with lemon, lime and grapefruit. This wine has great acidity and finishes quite nicely. It’s well balanced - not hot at all going down the hatch and I get a nice sour taste on the very backside of the palate." - winefoot.com, April 21, 2009.
This delicate, well-integrated Albarino features very nice fruit notes recalling peaches, along with subtle mineral notes and soft acidity. Medium-bodied and highly versatile, this will pair beautifully with a wide range of seafood dishes.
COMPOSITION: 100% Albarino grapes
ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
Adegas Gran Vinum is a small, family-owned winery. It opened in its current form only in 2002, and uses only the most modern growing and production techniques. However, it was founded on land owned and lovingly cultivated by the owner’s grandparents so that the winery is able to work with old traditions to balance out the modern methods. The winery is located in Galicia, in northwest Spain, right on the border with Portugal and on the Atlantic Ocean.
This Albariño displays fresh orange and lime citrus with a lively fruity structure. The palate is balanced and has a distinctive appetizing finish. Should be perfect with fish or chicken with plenty of citrus fruits or glaze.
Produced from a combination of estate-grown vines and purchased grapes, pneumatically pressed, fermented in stainless steel, and aged on its lees for one month, the wine provides a crisp, refreshing flavor with an easy drinking profile.
