Parker om: A Cruceira Albarino

The 2020 A Cruceira is a new single-vineyard Albariño from 90-year-old vines on gneiss soils in Xesteiriña in the village of Sanxenxo that fermented in old 225-liter oak barrels. It has 12.6% alcohol and super sharp, extremely high acidity, 10.13 grams per liter (tartaric acid). It is electric with acidity and a nuanced nose that is subtle and insinuating. It's serious and austere, with an herbal hint. I love the style, the purity, rectitude and cleanliness—naked, pure, sharp and vibrant. It should age forever. Only 800 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2021. 95/100
