Tasting notes
Bright yellow. Intense, mineral-accented aromas of nectarine, pear, honeysuckle and lemon zest. Rich and broad but sharply focused and light on its feet, with excellent clarity to its ripe orchard and citrus fruit flavors. Notes of anise and toasty lees add depth to the bright, linear, minerally finish.

There is one white wine, the 2009 Pricum Albarin Barrica is 100% varietal sourced from 60-year-old bush vines and tiny yields of less than 1 ton per acre. It was fermented in wood vats with native yeasts with malolactic in barrel followed by an additional 7 months of aging. Aromas of popcorn, mineral, melon, white peach, and almonds inform the nose of a deep, ripe, concentrated, savory, beautifully proportioned, silky-textured wine that will provide immense pleasure over the next 6 years. Master sommeliers take note! The Pricum wines of Bodegas Margon are made by the talented Raul Perez and it shows. Importer: Aurelio Cabastrero, Grapes of Spain, Lorton, VA; Tel. (571)-642-0343
