Castillo de Albai Tempranillo Joven 2021 Eden Mill

Castillo de Albai Tempranillo Joven 2021 Eden MillCastillo de Albai is the entry level Rioja from Pagos del Rey, a well respected Spanish wine group with vineyards across the country's major regions. The Tempranillo Joven is an unwooded, drink young style of Rioja the daily drinking expression of Spain's most famous red grape, made with fresh red fruit rather than the oak driven character of the Reserva and Gran Reserva styles. The 2021 vintage was cool and balanced in Rioja. Expect a bright cherry

and lightly sweet with fine bubbles

spicy with confectionery fruit and damn good value from this low cropping limestone covered vineyard in Langhorne Creek

Excellent depth of colour and notably deeper and richer in 2020 while still retaining freshness and balance

and the savoury oak

This is drinking beautifully

Passion Fruit 1883 syrup develops a taste of ripe

a journey into the most authentic Sicily and its most appreciated traditions

No one could ever get past this boundary

These infusions are mixed with grapefruit alcohol-ate

which he describes as more like an infusion before maturing for 18 months in large cement tanks

in the village of Loroux-Bottereau

A delicate orange-green colour
