Producer notes: "Brilliant straw-yellow. Fresh quince, tangerine and lemongrass on the intensely perfumed nose, which is complicated by floral and quinine nuances that build with air. Shows impressive nerve and mineral lift on the palate, offering vibrant citrus and orchard fruit flavors and a suave floral nuance. Finishes taut, racy and very long, displaying superb focus and an echo of florality. The unique winemaking techniques and talents of lifelong viticulturalist, Rodri Mendez, make for a very interesting project. This Albarino undergoes a process ranging from free run, natural must, to skin fermentation, to foudre fermentation to resting in a stainless steel tank."

Not yet reviewed; 2018 vintage rated 96+ points by Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "One of the wines of the vintage... produced with 200-year-old vines from an exceptional harvest... This is a lot more civilized than the 2015; this is gentler and more elegant, and there is great balance. This is a version of Genoveva that drinks well early on—the grapes ripen thoroughly, and it's all in its place—but there's freshness and stuffing for a long life in bottle. 5,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2019. Drink: 2020-2028."
