O Con Albariño 2018

Tasting: Xosé Lois Sebio’s Viño de Encostas project focuses on fruit from old vines in vineyards that are farmed organically and biodynamically, often outside of traditional growing areas. The grapes for this wine come from an old hillside plot on top of an abandoned tungsten mine. Quintessentially Albariño, but with a little more breadth and texture, expressive toasted lemon, delicately ripe white apricot, driving acidity and a delicious saline finish.
