Bodegas Bentomiz Ariyanas Seco Sobre Lias Finas
Very pale gold. Finely aromatic with delicate floral, grapefruit, and stony/slatey notes, and notable leesy. Lovely leesy depth to the texture, which fills the mouth while remaining fresh and tangy. Sour grapefruit flavours are softened by an almost mealy character from the lees ageing but there is almost something that reminds of manzanilla-is it a saltiness? Fascinating and delicious wine. Long too.
