Tasting Notes: Not a shy wine, The Dark Side shows classic aromas of bruised apple and brazil nuts with hints of Calvados on the nose. The palate is no less intense with red apple peel and jackfruit, supple mouthfeel and zesty acidity.
Winemaking: Albariño can produce young explosive aromatic driven wines, or mouth filling wines like this one. To achieve the latter, it was harvested late, the flavours and texture were extracted from the skins, with some work on the lees in the barrel. There was skin contact for 9 days and it was aged in second use oak barrels for 8 months. Welcome to the dark side of albariño.
