As Xaras

That was my last bottle of this vintage, and it was truly exceptional. The nose offered a delicate medley of Nordic berries, strawberry, sour cherry, wet forest floor, and spices. The palate followed suit with its delicacy and juiciness, supported by a refined structure and a robust mineral backbone. The finish was long, sharp, and simply delicious.

Almost no changes in a year. Delicate bouquet of Nordic berries, sour cherry, plum, black pepper, and earthy undertones. On the palate, it's delicate and juicy with high acidity and a pencil lead-like finish. Sharp and a bit pointy, not complex but neat. I prefer it extensively decanted.

Fedellos is always a safe choice for me. The 2021 As Xaras is juicy, elegant and delicious. A mix of Nordic berries, sour cherry, pepper, raw meat and forest floor. Mineral and quaffable.

Ah, As Xaras needed this time of rest in the bottle. Fruitness replaced tension without sacrificing juiciness and elegance. The glass wafts with notes of Nordic berries, pepper, raw meat and wet forest floor. On the palate, As Xaras has a medium-light body with good balance and a lovely metallic finish.

Every bottle is pure happiness. A beautiful bouquet of peonies, raw meat (hello, iron-rich blood), red berries, herbs and ground pepper. Medium-light, fresh, juicy and delicious. And what a value!

As Xaras is no complex but beautiful expression of Mencía. It's more reminiscent of Spätbrugunder than anything else. Red berries, raw meat, herbs and ground pepper. Medium-light body, tense and fresh, with pleasant flavours of northern berries and blood. Good value.
