Calabobos Albariño 2018

Tasting: Calabobos is the Galician word for ‘drizzle’, nodding its hat to the inclement weather and high rainfall of Galicia. A limited-edition wine, only 1800 litres made each vintage from the highest quality fruit from their vineyards. An incredibly complex wine that retains amazing levels of freshness as it matures, a plethora of flavours explode on the palate after a fragrant nose of candied lime and wet stones. A party for the senses, it has flavours of white fruit, lemon pith, apricot, with traces of bitter almond and an underlying minerality.
