Sofros “P&M” Albarín 2023

Print datasheet

Wine tasting:

Greenish yellow, bright and sparkling.
Complex nose, rich and with stone fruit, a touch of reduction, and some herbal notes from the variety. Spicy, with smoky and woody undertones.
On the palate, it is dry with a hint of fresh acidity, yet also rich and smooth. A wine of notable persistence, broad and glyceric, ready to play with your emotions. That acidic, saline, and mineral finish will make you think. Haha.

Viticulture: This wine is made from the Albarin variety, sourced from a 50-year-old, bush-trained vineyard located in the municipality of Villamañan (León) at an altitude of 765 meters. Climatic year 2023: We can say it was the hottest since records began. Due to the unusual temperatures—especially in the second half of the year, which were somewhat more moderate with average temperatures between 18 and 19 degrees—our vines achieved proper ripening. The 2023 season was one of the rainiest in recent years, and the aforementioned heat episodes led to an earlier harvest. Even so, we can say that it was a vintage of very high quality.
