Amber Albariño 2024 -Urban wine walk

In 2024 the vintage was so warm, hot and disease pressure was non existent. I was able to pick the grapes with a beautiful ripeness and spectrum of flavours from my allocated rows at Two Terraces, where they have the Portuguese Alvarino clone planted, as well as the Spanish Albarino clones.

This year I went with three and a half weeks of skin maceration. 2024 was the perfect year to push the boundaries a bit further, and see what would happen with prolonged skin contact. Traditionally one would press the grapes right away and remove the skins, but I really enjoy all the magical infusions that occur from macerating this white wine: tea leaves, jasmine, white peaches and nectarine. 

Expect tropical fruits vibes with a gentle phenolic texture. The wine is fresh with a lovely tangy and salty finish. This Alby would be a dream to pair with seafood and salty dishes.
