Abadal Nuat 2018

Abadal Nuat receives mixed praise for its apple, citrus, and stone fruit notes with a creamy, silky texture from lees aging. While some appreciate its complexity and elegance, others find it lacking intensity or overhyped. Pepper accents and mineral undertones add interest, but consistency in richness varies across vintages.

Abadal Nuat presents a luminous straw hue, indicative of its vibrant character. The bouquet unfolds with an intricate tapestry of ripe apricot, quince, and a whisper of honeysuckle, underscored by a subtle minerality. On the palate, this wine reveals a harmonious balance between its creamy texture and lively acidity, showcasing notes of lemon curd and white peach, with a hint of almond skin adding depth. The finish is enduring and elegantly structured, marked by a saline edge that speaks to its terroir. This wine exemplifies the expressive potential of Pla de Bages, offering both finesse and complexity.
