Castro Martin Sobre Lias Albarino 2022

Beautiful savoury pear, with yellowed straw and apple cider on the nose, and CM’s trademark smooth-fruited journey in the mouth. Almost certainly the most savoury CM yet, it is a little richer than usual, but the full-fruitedness is textural rather than fruity as such, with apple-skin fruit tannins tucking everything in and the lees ageing for savoury mouthfeel. Pear-apple ‘two fruits’ plus nectar florals and super texture, hmmm … it’s a dead-set beauty!
