Bodegas Arrayan Albillo Real 'Granito', 2018Spain White Sierra de Gredos Cebreros DO 75cl The DO for Granito is Cebreros, which makes only a tiny portion of Spain’s volume. Over half the vines in the DO are 60-90 years old, which makes this plot of Albillo which is approaching its 70th year, something of a newcomer. The grapes are handpicked and the whole bunches undergo a gentle foot treading and remain on skins for 3 days in stainless steel tanks which helps texture and aromatics. Then spontaneous fermentation takes place in stainless steel before ageing for 7-8 months ageing on lees in clay amphora. No malolactic helps preserve the fresh acidity.
