Notes | |||
"Granit has a bright, lemon-yellow colour, exhibiting elegant aromas with more mineral notes. The taste is crisp, dry, and persistent, with more earthy and stony flavours. There is a sensation of saltiness on the palate, reflecting the impact of the granite soils on Alvarinho." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"A layered white set in a light- to medium-bodied frame, with sleek acidity enlivening flavors of ripe green apple, yellow peach and kumquat. Shows hints of pickled ginger, slate, anise and sea salt that echo on the bright finish. Drink now through 2028. 4,166 cases made, 75 cases imported." —Wine Spectator |
