Albariño

Adegas Galegas Dionisos 2007

This is a new wine for Ce Soir Imports, and it should be available later in the year. There is no sub region specified, but it has all the hallmarks of a wine from Val do Salnes. Adegas Galegas is a small producer that is part of the large Grupo Galiciano that make a huge range of wines in Galicia, including a very interesting looking Marc called Ada that has little kids running around the bottle. 

Crisp apple, pear and lime, with white peach, jasmine and a bit of smoke. In the mouth its shows direct acid and good texture with more apple, kaffir lime leaves, plenty of minerally acid and a bit of musk stick. The quality really shows here, it's in the lean and minerally camp of Albariño. A very worthy addition to the growing number of Albariño available in Australia. 90 Pts.
