GRANBAZÁN Limousin


DESCRIPTION


The pioneer of oak-aged Albariños

The project began in the late 1980s, when the first experiments with French oak barrels started.

Granbazan Limousin is the first Albariño classified as Rías Baixas Barrica. During the last harvests, the technique has been refined until achieving a wine with a perfect balance. The grapes come from the Finca Tremoedo. Its more than 40 years old vines are grown on soils of “xabre” or “meteorized” granite.

TASTING NOTE


Pale straw yellow with golden highlights, translucent and bright.

On the nose, it is generous and expressive, with notes of quince, mango confit, and apple infused with cinnamon, elegantly integrated with hints of beeswax, toffee, and a delicate background of fine herbs such as oregano and rosemary.

On the palate, it is broad and characterful. Onctuous, with a saline touch from the first sip, the acidity is well-balanced and accompanies the entire tasting experience. The finish is long and persistent, where subtle layers of fine pastry and smoky undertones reappear.
