Pedraneira Albariño | Zárate

Released under Eulogio Pomares’ own name, Pedraneira is from the most coastal plot within the Francon vineyard, the roots of the vines directly in contact with the sea. It’s saline, salty and moreish, as you might expect, but with beautifully crystalline citrus and nectarine fruit to balance. As always with Eulogio’s wines, quanities are limited.
