2025 Kelley Fox Albarino

This small bottling of Albariño is fun to produce, and I love it more each year! The fruit was whole cluster pressed after picking and spent its entire life in a small stainless tank. The colour is youthful gold with brilliant transparency in the glass with lots of light. The nose begins with an immensely appealing saline, oceanic freshness on the nose with delicious tropical citrus and a hint of exotic flowers. The same is carried on the palate with mouth-watering acidity. It feels like fresh spring sunshine.
