Arrayan Albillo Real La Suerte 2023

$2999

Arrayán 'La Suerte' Albillo Real 2023 rescues a nearly forgotten, ancient grape from the high altitude, sandy soils of Almorox in Toledo, proving that Castilla-La Mancha can produce whites with incredible style and finesse. Bodegas Arrayán focuses heavily on keeping the identity of these low yield, old bush vines alive, using a quick cold soak on the skins before letting the juice spontaneously ferment and age for eight months in large neutral French oak barrels. The result completely subverts expectations for a warm climate white, striking a gorgeous balance between natural richness and crisp, sustained acidity. The glass overflows with bright, expressive aromas of ripe stone fruits, white florals, wild fennel, and a distinct touch of honey. On the palate, it rolls out a velvety, full-bodied texture packed with candied citrus, a hint of spice, and a salty, biscuit-like depth, all wrapping up in a persistent, chiseled mineral finish that sings of the rugged mountain brushlands. Pair this textured stunner with rich garlic prawns, roasted poultry, or a bold sheep's milk cheese.

"The white 2023 La Suerte Albillo Real, the only wine from the variety produced in Méntrida, was produced with grapes from three old vineyards planted at some 600 meters in altitude in the village of Almorox in the province of Toledo. The vines delivered a good yield in 2023, and the wine is balanced, with a moderate 13.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.2 and 5.73 grams of acidity. It had a 24-hour skin maceration with stem contact and then fermented with indigenous yeasts in used 300- and 500-liter oak barrels, where it matured for 10 months. It's pale, clean and floral, with notes of white fruit and no impact from the oak. It's medium-bodied and has a soft texture, keeping the poise and freshness. 7,757 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2024." —Luis Gutiérrez
