"Etiqueta Ambar uses grapes from vineyards that are over 40 years' old, mostly in Cambadosand Mea¤o in the Saln,s Valley on sand and granite soils. Almost Riesling like in termsof structure and acidity † Diego R¡os worked in the Mosel Valley † this is stony and intense,with layers of lime cordial, green apple and lemon zest and impressive extract. 2024-29."

"A fresh and pure Rias Baixas that has notes of lemons, grapefruit and peaches on the nose. It's medium-bodied and saline with a refreshing finish. Vegan. Drink now."

"The 2023 Albariño Granbazán Etiqueta Ámbar, sourced from Val do Salnés, undergoes a few hours of skin contact before fermenting and aging eight months on lees. Yellow in color, it presents aromas of white peach, orange blossom and candied citrus. The palate is dry, light and delicately fresh with a slight spritz adding texture. The contrast between the lush nose and the lean palate is intriguing and flavorful."
Winemaker Notes:
"Limpid, green-tinged yellow. Mineral-accented aromas of fresh honeydew, tangerine and white flowers, with a floral quality in the background. Fleshy and seamless on the palate, offering energetic orchard and citrus fruit flavors and a refreshingly bitter suggestion of quinine. Shows excellent clarity and mineral cut on the long, incisive finish, with the floral and melon notes echoing emphatically"
