The 2006 Leirana is made from 40-year-old Albarino vines. The wine spent 120 days on its lees and was bottled without fining or filtration (as are all of these wines). Medium straw-colored, it offers up an enticing perfume of slate, ocean breeze, lemon, and tropical aromas. Offering considerably more richness and depth than most wines made from Albarino, as well as a creamy texture, it is beautifully balanced and lengthy. Drink it over the next 1-2 years.
