Tinajas de Albillo Real 2017
Tasting: 100% Albillo Real from vines around Castronuño. This is Esteban’s expression of the traditional, slightly oxidative skin-contact wines of the region, made in the classical clay tinaja or amphora. The Albillo Real grapes’ thin skins macerate gently in the juice for 40 days, lending little in the way of colour but plenty of flavour and texture. The nose is bright but very bold, with notes of apricot, orange peel, and citrus, while the palate shows concentrated apricot, peach, and pear alongside savoury density. The clay and the skins give this a truly unique texture that is simultaneously substantial and truly refreshing.
