Voss Expert tasting note
On the nose, the Leirana Albariño offers a bouquet of fresh citrus fruits, such as lemon and grapefruit, accompanied by subtle floral notes. There is also a hint of minerality that adds complexity to the aroma profile.

Vibrant, sun-kissed wine with a radiant complexion. refined scents of white blossoms, lively apples, and ripe pears mingle with elegant layers of oak and a touch of the sea. The impression is a masterful evenness of richness and freshness, tempered by a lively acidity. A most intriguing and clean wine, notably when aged on older vines.
Yuan-Kai
Smooth entry level Leirana Albariño with a pale lemon hue, revealing a consistent stability of green apple, lemon zest, and pineapple. The wine's dry, high bracing quality and medium body make it a fabulous introduction to the varietal. Aged for 7 months on the lees and 20% in oak vats, this wine benefits from a gentle oak influence. The ending is medium, with a crisp, refreshing quality that will appeal to those searching for a well-balanced, easy-drinking Albariño. A very good entry level, with potential for further development.

Lively albariño with a racy bracing quality and citrusy aromas and flavors, initially similar to of Assyrtiko, but gradually yielding to richer, more exotic fruit hints as it matures.
