Granbazan Verde Albarino 2024
DOZEN: $486.00 or $40.50 each
Founded in the 1980s, Bodegas Granbazán was one of the pioneers in Rías Baixas to elevate Albariño from a local variety into a world-class white wine. Nestled in Galicia’s Val do Salnés, the estate is famed for its meticulous vineyard work and its striking blue-tiled winery. Granbazán’s philosophy blends tradition and modernity, crafting wines that capture the crisp Atlantic influence while showcasing the richness and texture Albariño can achieve. Today, their bottlings stand as benchmarks for the region, embodying precision, freshness, and regional character.
The 2024 Granbazán Verde Albariño is a vibrant, expressive example of what makes this grape so captivating. Aromas of citrus zest, green apple, and white peach leap from the glass, layered with subtle floral notes and a hint of sea spray. On the palate it is crisp yet textural, delivering juicy orchard fruits and a streak of saline minerality that speaks of its Atlantic home. Bright acidity keeps it lively, while a gentle weight on the mid-palate adds balance and complexity. The finish is long, clean, and mouthwatering – a wine that feels tailor-made for seafood but is equally refreshing on its own.
Notes on previous vintages:
A crisp and refreshing white that has aromas of lemon peel, lime zest and green apples. It’s light- to medium-bodied with tangy acidity. Pristine, minerally and mouthwatering finish. CLARE NESBITT, jamessuckling.com
Limpid, green-hued straw. High-pitched citrus and orchard fruit scents show fine detail and pick up floral and succulent herb flourishes with air. Tightly wound and focused on the palate, offering fresh Meyer lemon, green apple and honeysuckle flavors that show fine detail and back-end cut. Closes long and stony, with repeating florality and a touch of bitter quinine. JOSH RAYNOLDS
Aromas of ripe summer peach, lemon zest, wet river rocks and honeysuckle waft from the glass. This wine is full in the mouth and has brilliant acidity. It offers flavors of orange marmalade, peach pie, lemon, and dried herbs de Provence. WINE ENTHUSIAST
