L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

There were more iodine and low-tide notes in the nose of the 2021 Pepe Luis, with herbal and moss aromas, while the smoky notes were more in the background. The vintage is more marked in this wine; this is sharper and more austere than the rounder 2020 that I tasted next to it, despite both being balanced, fresh and harmonious. 6,100 bottles were produced. It was bottled after spending 17 months in two 2,500-liter oak foudres.

Tim Atkin:

You can really smell and taste the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean on this high-end Albariño from the brilliant Xurxo Alba, made with grapes from five parcels on sand and granite soils in Castrelo. Iodine and laurel aromas segue into a typically racy, chiselled white, with lots of struck match reduction and a very stony, bone-dry finish. 2024-30
