Leirana Albariño 2020 | 750 ml.

SP90 Wine Spectator Feb 28, 2022

"Light-bodied but intense and focused, this white delivers white flower, chalky and briny notes and a core of peach and lime. Drink now through 2025. 2,000 cases made, 700 cases imported." (90 pts.)

RP94 Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate 28th Feb 2022

"The vibrant 2020 Leirana was produced with a blend of 60% wine matured in used oak foudre and the rest stainless steel, as the wine has very high acidity (9 to 9.5 grams with a pH of 2.99!) and doesn’t go through malolactic; so, it is very sharp, and the higher percentage of oak makes it a little rounder. It’s powerful and pungent, serious and with granite minerality, showcasing the serious style of the whites from 2020. It has moderate alcohol (12.9%) and an electric palate that is clean and tasty, with a stony finish. 30,000 bottles produced. There are two lots that are not identifiable, the first of which was filled in March 2021, the second one in July." (94 pts.)
