In the glass, the Xi\u00f3n presents itself in a clear, brilliant platinum yellow with slightly greenish reflections that emphasise its youth and freshness.<\/p>\n
A precise, cool bouquet of remarkable clarity. Initially, floral notes and lemon balm dominate, accompanied by green apples and the characteristic citrus peel. With a little air, a fascinating maritime component develops - salty sea spray and iodised hints that reflect the proximity of the vineyards to the coast. Subtle nuances of green almonds and fennel green lend additional complexity.<\/p>\n
On the palate, the wine shows an impressive balance between taut, lively acidity and a subtle extract sweetness. The Precise minerality<\/strong> runs like a salty thread through the entire flavour. The fruit remains more in the greenish spectrum with citrus and crisp apples, while the lees ageing provides a subtle creaminess that gives the wine texture without compromising its freshness. The finish is medium-long, clean and characterised by a pleasant salinity.<\/p>\n This single-varietal Albari\u00f1o from the Rias Baixas growing region on Spain's Atlantic coast comes from younger vines, which are nevertheless traditionally cultivated as pergolas. The combination of granitic soil with a sand and clay layer gives the wine its characteristic minerality. Spontaneous fermentation and ageing on the fine lees contribute to the texture and complexity.<\/p>\n An ideal companion to Seafood<\/strong> of all kinds, especially Oysters<\/strong>, Clams<\/strong> and grilled squid<\/strong>. It also harmonises wonderfully with light fish dishes<\/strong>, Goat cheese<\/strong> and Ceviche<\/strong>. The savoury component also makes it the perfect partner for Tapas<\/strong> with seafood.<\/p>\n Der Xi\u00f3n 2023 demonstriert eindrucksvoll, dass auch ein sogenannter \u201cEinstiegswein\u201d bemerkenswerte Qualit\u00e4t und Charakter aufweisen kann.

Ein Wein, der Authentizit\u00e4t \u00fcber Opulenz stellt und dabei eine bemerkenswerte Balance zwischen Zug\u00e4nglichkeit und Tiefgang findet.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"General information<\/h3>\n
