Description
Golden yellow in color, clean and bright. On the nose, it offers high aromatic intensity, revealing a complex array of yellow and winter fruits such as mirabelle plum, persimmon, and loquat, interwoven with citrus notes of lime and yuzu zest. Subtle hints of brioche, fresh butter, and a delicate floral nuance reminiscent of orange blossom accompany the fruit profile On the palate, it is enveloping from the first sip, with a creamy, polished texture thanks to extended lees aging. This richness is balanced by vibrant acidity that brings freshness and a long, persistent finish.

The most famous of this estate’s wines, served by the glass at El Bulli for many years, 2024 Albariño Etiqueta Ambar put them on the map back in the 1990s. Coming from sandy granitic soils and released in late summer, the wine sees more active bâtonnage and more lees aging than many of its other wines. Half of the grapes come from the estate, with the other half from families that have grown Albariño in the area for years. It has richness and length in the form of medium-bodied peach and salty brine and should do well in the bottle another 5-7 years.
