Orixe Sotelo "Nebola" Blanco Monterey County 2022

If you are an acidhead searching for a crisp wine that will march endlessly on your palate, then this is your wine.  Made in a style similar to Txakali, this Arinto/Albariño blend is a stand-in while the Honduarrabi Zuri is being cultivated. Tart green apples, pears, grapefruit cut into wedges with a sprinkle of sugar, pineapple and jasmine. A low 11.5% ABV is evident on the palate, yet the intensity blankets the entire mouth. Hopefully this rendition will stick around when the Hondurrabi does mature.
