Susana Esteban Tira O Veu 2019

13%. Originally intended as Procura na Anfora 2019 but Covid delayed bottling and flor yeast took hold reshaping the wine. And so it became ‘Veil of Flowers’ instead. A very light yellow/green curious sort of ‘orange’ wine with a Jerez flavor. Opening with slightly buttery, green stem aromas and flavors, underpinned by subtle fino floral-saline characters. In the mouth it offers a full rich texture cut through with fine skin tannins, ample acidity and ends with a sappy, juicy finish. Tasting this in November 2021, I recall tasting it as an experimental sample first at Amphora Day 2019 with 50% skin contact. Back then it was full of fresh quince and apple skin aromas.
