Nanclares Y Preto - Tempus Vivendi 2021

Basque native & enologist Alberto Nanclares is a no nonsense winemaker of natural wines with biodynamic principles. Tempus Vivendi is Located 10 km from the Atlantic. His 3 hectares are divided into 12 parcels, his methodology is always quality over quantity, that means lower yields, less is more in the winery and vineyard approach. This Albarino comes from six parcels near Sanxenxo. His wines are age worthy and full of Atlantic saline influence. Cool fact - Alberto uses seaweed as compost as well as no plowing to promote flora and fauna in their natural habitat.

Pours into the glass a pale green yellow. One swirl and you are transported seaside with bright citrus aromas, stone fruit white blossom. Such a textured yet easy drinking white that has a mouthwatering acidity freshness intermingled with bright lemon and orange zest, beeswax, nectarine, honeydew melon, honeysuckle ending in a saline grapefruit pith note. It’s an tingly saline delight from beginning to end. A thirst quencher to please all.

Pair with a roasted cauliflower and chive soup followed by crab stuffed cod.
