Feliz Skins Albillo Mayor, Ribera del Duero | 2020

My tasting beat reads, "Not as fat or chunky as I expected." Aged for 18 months in acacia and French oak barrels, then blended and rested in cement, notes of apple-ginger, honey, and rose intrigue the senses Full-bodied, but lifted by fine lines of acidity, this is the type of skin contact wine that you can enjoy without food. A white wine (Albillo Mayor) specialist in a ravenous red wine territory, Felix Marina is doing uncommon and wonderful things at Feliz. Take notice. ~Allegra Angelo
