2017 Bodegas Cota 45 UBE Maina La Charanga

 


A unique and interesting effort from winemaker Ramiro Ibáñez. 100% Palomino grapes sourced from a single vineyard in Sanlucar. Albarizas de Barajuelas soils are dominated by chalk and clay.



Shy, nutty nose with hint of petrol. Bone dry palate of almonds and stone fruit. Subtle salinity and a pithy, tonic finish. Reminds me texturally of a young Trocken Riesling, but with less acidity. Showing more on day two, this has aging potential.  Paired nicely with lobster.
