La Trucha de Acero 2017

The 2017 is the first release of this superb, unwooded Albariño from José Alonso y Gregorio's boutique operation in Creciente. Focused and pithy for an Albariño from the southern part of Rías Baixas, it has the zip of a freshly squeezed lime with stony intensity and minerality, a hint of passion fruit sweetness and the structure and concentration to age in bottle. 2022-29

Peach, mango and honeysuckle nose. Mineral, saline and elegant on the palate with a long, citrusy finish.
