2023 La Cana Albarino [JS92][JD91]

"Crushed seashells, chalk, salted lemons and sliced apples on the nose. Bone-dry salinity brings out plenty of briny austerity on a textured, medium-bodied palate. Pithy and gastronomic in the finish. I like the fact that this is not a fruity but rather a bony albarino. Bring on the oysters!" 

"More honeyed lime, minty herbs, and crushed stone notes all emerge from the 2023 La Caña, a 100% Albarino that's medium-bodied, has bright, juicy acidity, and a clean finish. It's going to be incredibly versatile on the dinner table and is impeccably made." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"La Caña is a wine that Jorge Ordóñez and his winemaking team craft to demonstrate the potential that Albariño shows as a high quality, serious varietal. As Jorge was the first person to export this variety, he has a tremendous passion and appreciation for Albariño, and he decries the use of Albariño to make simplistic, mass-produced, and commercial wines.. La Caña demonstrates the complexity, intensity, and longevity Albariño can achieve when sourced from old vineyards and using serious winemaking practices."
