Description
Discover Granbazán Etiqueta Ámbar – a 2023 Rias Baixas Albariño celebrated by critics for its vibrant complexity and exceptional terroir expression. Crafted from 40-year-old vines rooted in Cambados and Meaño’s granite-rich soils of Val do Salnés, this Spanish white wine reveals why Rias Baixas reigns supreme for Albariño enthusiasts.
Experience a captivating aromatic journey: layers of lime zest, ripe green apple, and white peach unfold into subtle floral undertones of orange blossom. The palate delivers a masterful balance – crisp acidity reminiscent of fine Riesling meets textured minerality derived from extended 8-month lees aging. Notes of grapefruit and saline freshness lead to a dry, refreshingly bitter-quinine finish with remarkable length.

• Critically Acclaimed: Rated 93pts by Tim Atkin (“stony and intense”), 92pts James Suckling (“fresh and pure”), 90pts Vinous (“intriguingly flavorful”)
