The Wine Advocate - 11th Jul 2024 - Luis Gutierrez - 2023 Fulcro A Pedreira - 94/100 - $28 - 2024 - 2030
2023 was a good year with slow ripening of the grapes, resulting in very tasty wines with good freshness and balance, as seen in the 2023 A Pedreira. It is expressive, clean and elegant and extremely tasty and salty, really impressive. It has structure and balance, 13% alcohol, a pH of 3.35 and 7.7 grams of acidity. Thirty percent of the wine was in stainless steel and the rest in barrel and foudres for four to six months. This is superb. They produced an impressive 60,000 bottles. It was bottled in March 2024. It's a bargain.

James Suckling - Bodegas Fulcro - Albariño Rías Baixas A Pedriera 2023 - 94/100
A fragrant, pleasant albarino with oyster shells, green pears and a steely note on the nose. The palate is dynamic and energetic, with intense salinity that really defines this wine. This comes from a single parcel called Finca Xesteira planted on clay schist soils. The wine ages for around 11 months in used barrels. Drink now.
