Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The old Picarana white has been renamed to 2022 Marañones Albillo Real even though Picarana is still printed in small letters on the label (I guess to give it continuity). The wine is pale, very subtle, elegant, insinuating, clean and delicate, with precision and pristine aromas of white flowers and fruit, with a herbal and spicy twist. It comes from different vineyards, trying to express the altitude, granite and vintage with balance and elegance. The grapes were handpicked and selected to ferment with indigenous yeasts in 228-, 500- and 600-liter barrels and 1,200- and 1,500-liter oak foudres, where the wine matured for 10 months. It has a moderate 12% alcohol, very good freshness showcased by the pH of 3.23 and good acidity, 5.69 grams (measured in tartaric acid per liter of wine), for a variety that doesn't have much acidity. The mouthfeel is terribly elegant, pure and fresh. This is really impressive. 19,536 bottles produced. It was bottled in the summer of 2023.
