The Albariño Sketch Raúl Pérez 2021 is a cult white wine from Rías Baixas, crafted by the highly regarded winemaker Raúl Pérez. This single-vineyard Albariño is sourced from old vines, up to 80 years old, located in Meaño, a site so close to the Galician coast that it is heavily influenced by the Atlantic. The wine is fermented in large, neutral 750-litre French oak barrels to preserve the purity of the terroir and is aged in the same barrels for 12 months without malolactic fermentation. The 2021 vintage is defined by its laser-sharp precision, offering a an expressive profile of citrus and green herbs, with intense marine and mineral notes that lead to a vibrant, austerely elegant finish.
