Alberto Nanclares Crisopa

The nose of the 2020 Crisopa is really impressive and different, with aromas of marmalade, charred tangerine peel, tea and sweet spices, very complex and different. It's a skin-contact white that is greatly marked by the process but has its separate personality. It feels different from previous years; the palate is finely tannic, with a chalky texture and very supple flavors, with the texture of a light red. This is my favorite vintage of Crisopa and one of my favorite orange wines. One 500-liter barrel produced some 600 bottles.

It is an orange-wine style with a deep golden colour with orange tinges. It has oxidative aromas such as orange peel, honey and dried stone fruit. It is an idiosyncratic wine within Rías Baixas. I like how the salty and vivid acidity combines with the oxidative character; however I would prefer a less extreme vinification.
