Los Ángeles Barba Blanca 2023

The lemongrass and jasmine on the nose aren’t shaded by its poached pear, nectarine and apple character. Fragrant, flavorful and pretty deep and phenolic, with a full body and a fresh, creamy finish.

Macabeo from a single vineyard at high altitude, a bio dynamically grown mountain vineyard, hand-harvested and then vinified in 3 ways: in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks, in a French oak puncheon and on its skins to create a ‘white’ wine like no other. It has an intense aroma of pears and figs and honey and the texture is soft and silky. The wine is long on the palate and ideal for Asian cuisine, fish and soft cheeses.
