This Granbazn Etiqueta mbar Albario from 2021 vintage has an array of vibrant features, including fresh almost tropical aromas, citrus and stone fruit on the palate with a creamy texture, and mineral and saline characters. With balanced acidity and zesty freshness, it is an ideal match for grilled fish and seafood.

“Something of a calling card for Granbazn, this 150,000-bottle white is produced with equal amounts of purchased and home-grown grapes. Macerated on skins for eight hours, it’s bright, stony and intense, with good extract, white pepper and green fig flavours and a long, salty finish. Typically racy for a 2021.”

About theProducer

Bodegas Granbazan was established in the heart of the Val do Salns, Ras Baixas, in 1981. The winery and Bordeaux-style manor house is at the centre of the 13.5 hectare Finca Tremoedo vineyard. Their focus is purely on the Albario grape and to that end the vineyard was planted in 1980 with a range of Albario clones from across Galicia. Finca Tremoedo consists of 10 different plots, each with its own microclimate, and each tended and harvested separately.

Vineyard and Winery

Produced from 100% estate-grown Albario sourced from the warmest plots of Finca Tremoedo vineyard in Vilanova de Arousa – just a kilometre from the sea. The vines are around 35 years old, and are pergola-trained in sandy granite soils. Grapes are hand-harvested into 17kg crates. All free-run juice, with long skin contact (12 hours) and fermentation in stainless steel using indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged on fine lees for 8 months.
