Lafrite Pinales

Bettis

Crisp and vibrant wine with a prominent nose of citrus, uniquely lime and grapefruit. The tongue is distinguished by a clear and zesty quality, with a round grip that is somewhat evocative of a cloudy liquid. The bracing quality is well-balanced and provides a enjoyable finish. Overall, it's a decent cost effectiveness for the price.

The annual task of trimming the long, overgrown laurel hedge proved to be a welcome respite from the sweltering heat, and the Friday evening spent admiring the newly pruned foliage was a true highlight of the week. The Gaudí-inspired bottle artwork added a touch of whimsy to the garden, and the cava was a lean premium for a warm evening. The blend of Macabeo, Parellada, and Xarel-lo was a perfect stability of vibrant brightness and accents of apple, pear, and citrus, with a wisp of toasted brioche and a pleasing finish.
