If I was going to pick a wine scandal of the year, it would have to be Albarinogate. But there are those out there with the cunning and guile to recover and release something with a great name like ‘A tribute to Galacia’. I loved this label last year, but it seems to go better with the new name.

White peach and white flowers get things moving on the nose, followed up by a base of an apple/pear combo. Taught and firm in the mouth, nice menerally acid and a long tangy finish. More of that apple and pear on the palate with some lime and lemon and a very slight herbal note. Good stuff. Get on board S.S. Savignin! 89 Pts
