Nose | This expressive Albariño smells of passion fruit, grapefruit, orange rind and white flowers, nuanced by hints of hay and ripe apples. |
Palate | Fresh and smooth, this wine from bodega Lagar de Fornelos has a delicately unctuous texture and an excellent acidity. Ripe peaches, a dash of citrus and aromatic herbs and suggestions of jasmine and white roses. Long finish with some bitter remembrances. |
