Igrexario de Saiar Rías Baixas Albariño

2013, Benito Santos, Igrexario De Saiar, Albarino. I really like Benito Santos wines. Golden yellow: tart apples, citrus, minerality, salinity. Everything that I want with pan seared white fish. — 9 years ago

Solid Greco. Small producer. Their vineyard sits near abandoned sulphur mine which I'm told adds "wonderful mineral notes". Umm ok, guess that's cool. — 9 years ago
