Granbazán, Rias Baixas (Galicia, Spain) Albariño “Etiqueta Verde” 2024 ($23)

I reviewed this racy beauty earlier this year because it could cut through the heat and humidity of summer. I just tasted it again, at GupShup, a fine Indian restaurant in Manhattan where it cut through the heat found in that cuisine. Back in May, what I called “the cutting edginess of the electrifying wine,” turned out to be ideal as a foil for the spicy dishes served at GutShup. The extra six months of bottle age has not diminished its edginess or verve. It also continues to maintain its depth and weight.
