"A new Albari¤o, the 2021 Lindeiros was produced with grapes from a vineyard planted in 1987 that they bought in 2021, 3.8 hectares on granite soils in Cambados next to their Vi¤a Deiro vineyard. It fermented in their newly built winery at 15 degrees Celsius in three different containers: a 600-liter egg-shaped concrete tank, 400-liter French oak barrels and the rest in stainless steel tanks. The aging took place in the same containers and lasted 12 months. It has 13.1% alcohol and 6.2 grams of acidity. It has a lemony nose with some complexity, floral hints and white fruit and a fresh, fruit-driven palate with clean flavors and a faint bitter twist in the finish that is dry and faintly tropical. It develops notes reminiscent of tangerine peel with time in the glass, and with some more time, the oak emerges. 3,800 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2023."
