Granbazan - Etiqueta Verde Albarino 2022
Granbazan Description
Etiqueta Verde, or ‘Green Label,’ is the entry-level offering from Granbazan. The grapes are hand-harvested and de-stemmed before undergoing an 8-hour pre-fermentation maceration which helps to lock in and amplify aromas and structure. Etiqueta Verde is made with a combination of free-run juice and lightly pressed juice. It is fermented with indigenous yeasts in tank and aged on the lees for no less than four months before bottling. This is a classic Salnes Valley style albarino. Dry, very floral, with crisp acidity, and elegant salty aftertaste.
James Suckling: 92 Points
The white fruit has a nervy minerality with green apple aromas and seashell chalkiness. Nicely saline on the palate with a medium body and a bone-dry, tangy finish with some seashells and peaches. Vegan.
