Edmund do Val Alvarinho "Sobre Lias" 2018
This estate dates back to 1790 but it was the purchase of it in 1999 by
Rafael Edmundo Ruibal that marks the qualitative shift that makes this
essential wine to swoon over. Family run now by the brother-sister team
of Olalla (she the winemaker) and Pablo, the certified organic vines are
producing heart-pounding Alvarinho that is aged on its lees for an
extended period of time. This is lush, from a warm vintage, but with
the bracing acidity that makes it so perfectly balanced. Cling peach,
melon and lime notes show the opulence of the vintage with that wild
wash of acidity clensing the palate making you want to sip it again and
again... Enjoy now through 2027.
