Calma Indomita Albarin 2023, Mauricio Lorca

Made from the local grape, Albarin, not to be confused with Albarino. A fresh, zesty white full of citrus and mineral flavours with a fresh acidity. A lovely match with seafood.

It is a variety that combines citrus aromas, such as grapefruit, and floral notes, like jasmine. The wines present good natural acidity, with medium structure and a smooth, persistent, and fresh finish.

Varietal: 100% Albarín. The Albarín variety is native to the north of the Iberian Peninsula; however, it has adapted
very well to the northern region of Castilla y León. It is a grape that was on the verge of extinction and is now
gaining popularity among consumers.
