Robert Parker (RP) : 97+ Points (2018)
The 2018 Les Aubaguetes is the fourth vintage from this plot of 1.28 hectares on a slope planted in the early 20th century. This year it's a blend of 71% Garnacha, 28% Cariñena and 1% Garnacha Blanca and Macabeo. Most of the wines have more Cariñena in 2018 than in 2017, and in this wine, it has been increasing right from the first vintage. It fermented in oak with a maceration of 55 days and matured for 14 months in oak barrels of different sizes. This is very concentrated and powerful, a little more rustic or, let's say, with a different profile than the other wines that are all from Gratallops (this is from the neighboring village of Bellmunt de Priorat). The wine is aromatic and balsamic, with more aromatics and texture from the Cariñena. It has a powerful palate with abundant and slightly dusty tannins, very long and persistent. 2,880 bottles were filled in April 2020.

Bodegas Albamar Sesenta e Nove Arrobas Albariño 2020
Bodegas Albamar Sesenta e Nove Arrobas Albariño 2020

This wine comes from Rías Baixas, a renowned wine region in Galicia, Spain, known for its Albariño wines. The region's granite disintegrating sands and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean impart a distinctive terroir to the wine.

The Sesenta e Nove Arrobas is made from a selection of the best grapes from old vines, which produce fewer clusters but with excellent aromatic qualities. The grapes are vinified exclusively in steel tanks to enhance their rich aromatic qualities, and the wine is aged for 18 months in these tanks. The use of indigenous yeasts and a natural approach to winemaking further accentuates the grape's unique characteristics.

Tasting Notes:

  • Color: The wine has a bright and inviting appearance.
  • Aroma: Expect a vibrant bouquet, brimming with mineral notes along with traces of flowers and a variety of citrus fruits.
  • Palate: The taste is taut, fresh, and saline, with a crisp and invigorating acidity. It flows seamlessly to a finish marked by great freshness, making it both savory and vibrant.

Wine Pairing Ideas: This wine pairs beautifully with seafood, making it an excellent choice for dishes like grilled fish, shellfish, or a seafood paella. Its crispness and acidity also make it a great match for light salads and vegetarian dishes.
