Rafael Palacios As Sortes 2022

Complex and refined, with ripe pear, citrus, white peach, wild herbs, delicate floral notes, and pronounced mineral character. The palate is concentrated yet energetic, combining silky texture with vibrant acidity, saline freshness, and a long, precise finish.

Food Pairing: Pair with turbot, shellfish, lobster, grilled fish, roast poultry, creamy seafood dishes, mushroom risotto, or mature soft cheeses.

95 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2022 As Sortes is evolving quite slowly and is more polished than when I first tasted it in November 2023. It feels approachable now and seems to have calmed down, with a profile that doesn't point at the warm and dry year they had in the zone. It has good ripeness (14% alcohol), a vibrant palate with a pH of 3.02 and 7.2 grams of acidity and a long, dry and tasty finish. It transcends the vintage. 22,200 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2023.

92 Points - Wine Spectator

A graceful white, with an effortless feel to the integration of its sleek acidity and salty underpinning. Offers focused flavors of nectarine and white raspberry fruit, lime peel, anise hyssop and almond skin. Racy and lightly spiced on the lasting finish. Drink now through 2030.
