Escosés Volante Albilla Sobre Lías, Manchuela 2024

1 Reviews

Albilla, a locally treasured variety found only around the village of Villamalea in Manchuela, thrives in dry, warm climates due to its natural drought resistance. This dry-farmed wine gains added texture from time spent on its lees and you can expect mineral-driven citrus aromas that lead to a beautifully pithy, saline texture on the palate. Winemaker Norrel Robertson once again showcases his exceptional talent for crafting extraordinary and unconventional wines from overlooked vineyards, reviving and renewing the magic of Spanish wine.

El Escocés Volante

Literally translated as ‘the flying Scotsman’, El Escocés Volante is the brainchild of Spanish resident and Scottish winemaker Norrel Robertson MW. He learned working from the cellar up, including placements in Chianti, Portugal, Australia, France and Chile, eventually completing a postgraduate viticulture and oenology course at Lincoln University in Christchurch, New Zealand, graduating with distinction.

Norrel produces wines from across some of Spain's more obscure wine regions: his speciality is garnacha, in particular from Calatayud, but he also makes excellent wines in Galicia, Murcia and Andalucía.

The Mail on Sunday

This was my first taste of the rare Albilla grape, here grown inland at altitude. It has a floral bouquet, red apple and lemon. Try with herby salads.

Real character – beeswax – and just enough acidity, but amazing distinction and interest for the money. Presumably it was a question of Norrel Robertson MW knowing about this little parcel?...
