Nas Dunas, Albarino, Rias Baixas, 2021

The 2021 Nas Dunas, when tasted next to the 2022, feels even younger and more austere and elegant, subtler and aging at a glacial pace. It was produced with grapes from vines planted on very fine beach sand and schist and fermented and matured in a 700-liter French oak barrel, where the wine matured for 11 months. The wine is stunning, and tasted blind, I'd guess it were much younger. It has contained ripeness and 12.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.28, 7.2 grams of acidity and the super fine texture that is the signature of this winea wine that has reached an amazing level of refinement and complexity, among the best in the appellation. Bravo! Seeing how young it is, I guess it should age effortlessly for a decade or more. 900 bottles were filled in August 2022.
