Akilia Villa San Lorenzo Blanco

I love the austerity of the Palomino 2019 Villa de San Lorenzo White, which I had already tasted last time. Time in bottle has done it some good; the wine is evolving at a slow pace. It's sharp and dry with a light to medium body, 12.5% alcohol and a mineral, stony sensation on the palate. It has very good freshness and notable acidity for what the grape normally is. The vineyards are certified organic, but the wine doesn't show any certification on the label. It was produced with old-vine Palomino and Doña Blanca from a vineyard called Fontairo on slate and quartzite soils. It fermented with indigenous yeasts in concrete after four days of skin contact, and the wine matured in concrete vats for four months. 7,000 bottles were filled in February 2020.
