Details
Flor d'Albera 2023
Made solely from Moscatel de Grano Menudo (Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains), the wine Flor d’Albera is a characterful Spanish white wine from the rugged Catalan region of L'Empordà.
The vines are planted in slate soils which have low levels of organic matter and are constantly swept by a harsh northern wind called Tramuntana.
Meticulously harvested and traditionally vinified in stainless steel tanks, the wine Flor d’Albera 2023 was then aged for 12 months in 225-litre French oak barrels.
Produced by the Martí Fabra winery, this white wine from L'Empordà will be a great accompaniment for fish recipes and creamy cheeses.
| Appearance | The wine Flor d'Albera is medium gold with some yellow and amber tinges. |
|---|---|
| Nose | This varietal Moscatel de Grano Menudo shows well-balanced notes of vanilla, ripe white grapes, white flowers and white fruit. On the background, hints of spices and some mineral remembrances. |
| Palate | Nice balance between freshness, intensity and creaminess. Some smokey notions, a remembrance of withered vegetables, some mineral undertones and remembrances of honey, citrus and royal jelly. This Muscat white wine of the Martí Fabra winery has a great structure and long, persistent finish. |
| Our personal opinion | The interesting white wine Flor d'Albera 2023 will pair marvelously with a lobster rice, one of L'Empordà's many gastronomic wonders. |
