La Caña 2022 Spanish Albariño 750ml

A very precise and well made white with cooked apple, spicy pear and some crushed-cement character. Medium to full body with tangy acidity that gives tension to the pretty fruit. Drink or hold.

COMMENTARY: The 2019 La Caña Albariño is delicious and lasting on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine offers authentic aromas and flavors of savory spice, earth, and dried citrus peel. Enjoy its juiciness with linguine and clams. (Tasted: September 1, 2020, San Francisco, CA)

The base 2019 La Caña is all Albariño and comes from vines planted from 1962 to 1984. Brought up in a mix of stainless steel and neutral oak, it reveals a medium gold hue as well as crisp notes of honeyed citrus, salty mineral, and apple blossom. With good depth of fruit on the palate, it's medium-bodied, balanced, and has a great mix of texture and freshness. It's going to be incredibly versatile on the dinner table.

Dry-farmed, hand-harvested and with 25% of the blend fermented with wild yeast, this is a showcase of citrus fruit, where grapefruit, lime and lemon zest mingle on a creamy-textured palate thanks to eight months of lees ageing. The bright intensity carries through the finish with balance and elegance.
