Excellent Albarino from the iconic Sileni Grand Reserve range. Premium Bridge Pa fruit was carefuly pressed and a portion was fermented in French oak before it spent time on lees to impart texture and complexity. The resulting wine is aromatic and bright, with vibrant stone fruit flavours. Bright acidity and a touch of minerality lead to a long, lingering finish. Next time you've got seafood on the menu, reach for a bottle of this and watch the magic unfold.
Cuisine Magazine writes "The nose is alive with bright and ripe tropical fruit that are mirrored on the palate alongside some melon and green-fruit character. The palate is well structured with a delicious fruit core and lovely fleshy layers that add complexity and a mouthwatering salinity that also adds length."
The winery writes "Aromatic with layers of peach, nectarine and citrus. Finely textured, with well- balanced acidity leading to a lengthy finish. The perfect partner for seafood, or try with a Mediterranean salad."
Yvonne Lorkin writes "There’s an old Spanish saying “when you want a tasty friend and not a foe, turn your face toward albariño”. Don’t fact-check it, no point, you’ll discover I made it up. But it could totally pass for an old Spanish saying. Yet one thing remains true and that’s how pure, ripe and clean this local example is. Rich nectarine and peachy punch on the palate leads to an ultra-fresh apple and lemon-licked palate loaded with citrus, stonefruit and crushed shell minerality. Full, generous and incredibly zesty – it’s a total triumph from the Bridge Pa triangle. It has the aftertaste of those excellent Fruju lemon and grapefruit iceblocks."
