Silvert & Saibene Wines, LLP

About the Wine:

 

This Albarino started as a bit of an experiment for Bouza and has quickly turned into one of the winery's most sought after bottlings. We treasure every last drop to which we have access. Sourced from two vineyards - one located in Melilla and the second in Las Violetas. Melilla's vineyard is set on sloping hills with silty loam soil, with some areas having higher instances of clay. The Las Violetas vineyard has more clay and silt.  

 

Varietal: Albariño

Origin: Uruguay | Appellation: Canelones and Montevideo

Elaboration: Harvested between February 2nd and 8th. 80% in stainless steel tanks and 20% in oak barrels. Aged 5 months over its lees. Unfiltered and unfined.

 

Tasting Notes:

 

"With attractive, authentic aromas of lemon, lees and radiator dust, this Albariño is one of the best you’ll find outside of Galicia. The palate is round, layered and citric in the middle, with melon, orange and pineapple flavors. A clean, free-flowing finish is on the money." - Wine Enthusiast 6/15
