Maximo Abete 2022 La Roya
Maximo Abete 2022 La Roya
The 2022 Guerinda+ LA ROYA, made from 100% Garnacha Roya, is a great example of a wine that showcases both a grape varietal and a sense of place, making it our choice for our April 2024 Blanco Y Tinto Wine Club. Using organic and sustainable viticulture practices, wines from Maximo Abete highlight the terroir of the rugged, remote Guerinda Mountains. By fermenting the grapes in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks, winemakers Yoanna and Maria successfully retain the delicate floral (citrus blossoms/chamomile) and herbal (anise/fennel) aromas, characteristic of Garnacha Gris. Spending little time on the skins, the wine is a pale apricot yellow color.
On the palate this wine is clean, smooth but not too oily, with flavors of apricot jam, honeysuckle, chamomile tea, and a hint of brioche from time spent on the lees. I’d pair this wine with curried chicken salad or any type of fried seafood, such as shrimp tempura.
