Lagar De Bouza Albarino (75cl, 12.5%)

Lagar De Bouza Albarino is a 100% Albariño white wine from the Rias Baixas DO in Galicia, Spain, bottled at 12.5% ABV in a 750 ml bottle. It is produced by the Bouza do Rei cooperative. The vineyards use traditional granite post trellising, and grapes are hand-harvested in the cool early morning. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with more press wine than is typical for the style. The nose shows fresh-cut lime, lemon peel, ripe peach, crushed white flowers, flinty minerality, ginger and gala apple. The palate is bright and citrus-driven, with lemon zest, green apple, yellow plum, honeysuckle and white stone fruit, balanced by weight and roundness. The finish is crisp and clean, with lemon zest and chalky, flinty mineral notes.
