Fefiñanes III Año 2013

|  Comments
This wine, from the pioneers in the production and marketing of the Albariño grape in Galicia, is the culmination and the ultimate expression of this variety.  This is a wine of great character and in a style that is more mature than fruity.  It has a long-lingering aftertaste and a slight bitterness that gives it great depth.

This Riesling, from an iconic German producer, is notable for its citrus and tropical aromas.  Sweet on entry to the palate and very refreshing thanks to its lively acidity.  Despite its youth, this is an impeccable wine and we can only imagine the complexity and grandeur it will acquire in a few years’ time.
