(2024) Second release of this wine, another Galician variety from the cooler northwest of Spain. A more neutral nose than the Albariño, but with more mealiness to the aromas, perhaps to do with 46% of the wine being made in concrete eggs?  That oatmeal character translates to the palate, again long lees ageing surely emphasising that. Plenty of juicy lemon and taut, crisp apple acidity. UK price and stockists to be confirmed.
(2021) Made only in stainless steel ('Acero') with no oak contact, Marimar selects the most intense fruit from the coolest, ocean-influenced sites for this cuvée. The nose has a gentle creaminess, presumably from some lees ageing, nutty and creamy apple fruit and a zesty hint of lemon. On the palate good bite and freshness here, clarity to the fruit and acidity, which is well-balanced without being aggressive. It's a wine that does not have the sharp precision of the best Chablis (unsurprisingly) and arguably should or could be a few pounds cheaper in my opinion, but it is elegant, restrained and delicious.
(2015) Again a richness of the oak here, with a blast of citrus. Plenty of oak and a sunny disposition to this, suggesting perhaps a warmer climate - Australia or California? Lovely fruit forward stuff, perhaps a little more obvious than the other wines, a little more bountiful, perhaps a little more alcoholic too. But beautifully done. Tasted blind.
