Details
Davide Observador 2022
Coming from Val do Salnés, a subzone of DO Rías Baixas, Davide Observador is crafted by the prestigious winemaker Pablo Estévez, chosen Spain's "Best Young Wines Winemaker" in 2019, and David Acha, director of Bodega Davide.
A blend of Albariño and Godello, this Spanish white wine is sourced from a single parcel of old vines grown in very in poor granitic soils.
As with all of the wines from , vinification was carried out following minimal intervention techniques. Each variety was separately fermented with the stems in stainless steel tanks, using native yeasts, for a period of 20 days. Then this white wine from Rías Baixas was blended and aged for 7 months minimum on lees with periodic stirrings.
Finally, Davide Observador 2022 was cold stabilized and bottled unfiltered.
Pair this white wine aged on lees with fish recipes.
| Appearance | The white wine Davide Observador is medium yellow with some steely glints. |
|---|---|
| Nose | This blend of Albariño and Godello is nuanced and inviting. Aromas of lychee, passion fruit and pears, with some citrusy and herbal notes and some well-defined floral overtones. |
| Palate | Gently unctuous and intricate, this white wine from Bodega Davide has a smooth texture, with a rich mid palate and a noteworthy acidity. Finish is gently bitter and stony, with an aftertaste of flowers and tropical fruit. |
| Our personal opinion | Poised and savoury, Davide Observador 2022 is a very smart buy. |
