Finally the 2013 Granbazán Limousin, their oak-aged Albari?o, spent six months in 500 liter oak barrels, which is what their 24 years of oaking Albari?o has shown them to be the best oak regime for the grape. It has a restrained nose with some creamy notes of coconut and pineapple with a round palate that feels quite light.

The 2010 Granbazan Limousin is raised in 225-and 500-liter French Allier barriques for six months of various ages. It has a sensual bouquet of quince and orange blossom that unfold in the glass and draw you in. The palate is finely tuned with hints of mango, quince and lemon zest, all underpinned with well-judged acidity that allows that finish to fan out and persist in the mouth. Though I generally err towards Albarino without oak contact, here it is deftly integrated and allows the fruit to speak. Drink now-2025. Bodega Granbazan is located in Tremoedo, in the Salnes sub-zone of Rias Baixas. Owners Manuel Otero and his nephew Jesus Alvarez own 17 hectares of 30-year-old Albarino vines that is supplemented by long-term contract with growers. Grapes are hand-picked, de-stemmed and undergo six to eight hours of cold maceration, while fermentation is undertaken in concrete and steel tanks using both natural and cultured yeast. I adore their evocative, rather old-fashioned labels with their maritime-themed drawings and equally, more importantly, I loved the wines inside. These are pure Rias Baixas Albarinos that brim over with crispness, flavor and authenticity. Importer: Christopher Cannan; www.europvin.com
