Fairly full brassy gold with golden highlights.
Nose
Full, complex, interesting and slightly different with lots of ripe apple up front and a certain almost creamy richness with traces of dried yellow fruits like apricot, raisin and papaya along with wax, straw and background hints of salinity and a barely perceptible Sherryish note. Extremely attractive.
Palate
Quite full and very tasty with real character. The acidity is very slightly higher than expected from the nose and enhances those yellow fruit notes with a gentle tang balanced by noticeable glycerine while the balance between the apple and other fruits is more equal. It has a welcome slightly old fashioned style and tastes good and ripe yet it is also good and dry with the characteristic chalky albariza texture. This is lovely.

In this case the emplazamiento (location) is Trebujena. It is a white wine produced mainly with Palomino but also some old vine vidueño, the umbrella name for other local grape varieties, from the albariza vineyards of the many small growers who are members of the Trebujena cooperative Las Albarizas. It was vinified by hand by Andrés Herrera Campos at the coop and aged for 12 months in three ex Amontillado and Oloroso butts seasoned over decades. The wine, of which there are only 1,460 bottles sealed with Diam corks, was launched in December 2018.
