Fefiñanes III años, 2017

100% Albariño

Located in Cambados, Palacio de Fefiñanes is clearly one of the great classic from Rias Baixas. First estate to bottle its Albariño, in 1928!

 

Obvious and easy to say, but this is one my favorite white from Spain. Not truly a big production as there is less 8000 bottles. While many local producers promote their Albariño infused with new oak, which cover all the subtle flavors of Albariño, here, Fefiñanes, they opted for long lee-aging (7 Months) and then at least 23 months in their cellar before to be released.

The result is stunning. Fefiñanes III años is  dry and complex wine from Spain. Stone fruits, Citrus notes, apples but also some yeasty, bready flavor from the vinification process. The mouthfeel has tone texture but it is balanced thanks to natural acidity. Vey elegant indeed!

A great wine for risotto that involves sea food.
