Bodegas Granbazán, Albariño Etiqueta Ambar, 2023

Bodegas Granbazán’s 2023 Etiqueta Ámbar is a distinctive Albariño from the coastal Val do Salnés subzone of Rías Baixas, combining vivid fruit with a refreshing saline edge. A symbolic classic in the producer’s range, it offers generous, juicy texture balanced by lively acidity and a gently bitter citrus finish.

Tasting Notes
Intensely aromatic, with notes of pale stone fruit, white mandarin, quince, candied lime, grapefruit, sea buckthorn, fresh lilies and a hint of shell. On the palate, pear, peach skin and juicy quince meet citrus peel and delicate herbal and floral nuances. Silky and gently creamy in texture, the wine remains taut and energetic, finishing with a characteristic grapefruit bitterness that adds freshness and structure. Enjoy it while its fruit and vibrancy are pronounced; its lees-derived texture should also make it rewarding over the near term.

Production
Made from 100% Albariño grown in the coastal Val do Salnés subzone of Rías Baixas, the grapes come from carefully selected vines more than 35 years old, rooted in stony, granite-rich soils. They are hand-harvested, destemmed at the winery and cold-macerated with the skins for six to eight hours to build aroma and texture. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel, followed by eight to nine months on the lees to balance freshness and fruit with a subtle creamy fullness.

Food & Serving
A versatile food wine, it pairs especially well with grilled shellfish, fried calamari and salty goat’s cheese. Serve well chilled, around 8–10°C. Decanting is not necessary; opening the bottle shortly before serving is enough to let its expressive aromas emerge.
