Stuart McCloskey “Albariño and skin-contact Malvasia are my guilty, wine pleasures. I seek-out both varietals (with some bottle age) during the winter months and gorge on them over the summer. Nothing beats a long, hard day’s work in the garden followed by a grippy, textural wine that puts the tingles back into my tired bones… Salty sea spray is a classic characteristic of Albariño however, at the other end of the spectrum comes an exoticism of fruit and texture which is what I look for. The bouquet is fabulously inviting (I opted for the Zalto Bordeaux glass) with orange peel, ripe peach, mango, lychee, orchard fruits, alpine herbs and sea spray. Tick, tick, tick – thank you very much. The palate provides a voluminous profile whilst retaining the varietal’s tautness. The fattiness of the fruit is immediately put in line with a smack of salty freshness. Super long and addictive. Good God – I could easily decant a bottle and take it out on my bike for a 50-miler. I would come back slightly inebriated, but my palate would be refreshed! A flavourful continental Albariño – the old world varietal with the new world style. There’s much to like and there’s nothing to criticise. Of course, you cannot drink a price-tag, but this is overwhelmingly underpriced… “I would happily pay double and perhaps a little more” he says with a hand on his vinous heart. Drink now to 2028…"
