Great photo of the founders of The Granite Post.

The Granite Post

October 13, 2022

One of the really cool new wineries in Galacia, The Granite Post was founded by two individuals with really cool backgrounds in wine. Both founders have 35 years experience in the wine trade; Kim in senior financial management of large Northern Californian Wineries (Beringer, Clos du Bois & Sterling/Seagram Classics); Robert in UK retail (Oddbins & Bibendum), then winery work in CA (Saintsbury, Murphy Goode& Peter Michael Winery) and Burgundy (Meo-Camuzet, Clos des Epeneaux & Roulot in Meursault).

The Granite Post combines Rias Baixas’ vineyards and expressive grape varieties and the expertise and imagination of an Anglo-American couple with many years’ experiences of making wine in California, Burgundy and the Languedoc before moving to Galicia. They make two wines; an Albariño and a rosé.

I loved the new Granite Post wines and don’t miss on the highly nuanced 2017 The Granite Post Rosado (OB, 92) which is nuanced and highly complex Rose that will cellar well for another five plus years. Learn more about this fantastic boutique winery at https://granitepost.es and here are my reviews of the new wines by The Granite Post.

2017 The Granite Post Rosado- Very unique and novel, the 2017 The Granite Post Rosado is a wonderfully salty and terroir-driven blend of Caiño, Espadiero, and Mencia grapes. Salted peach, wet stone and green apple notes, with delicate red raspberry and red rose water tones all combine on the palate. The smooth texture and bright acidity add to the enjoyment as this outstanding Rosado will be best enjoyed now and over the next five years. Drink 2022-2027- 92

2021 The Granite Post Albarino- The brilliant 2017 The Granite Post Albarino spent considerable time in French oak barrels on the lees before bottling. Gooseberry and saline drenched pear combine with sourdough bread and Marcona almond on the nose. The palate is very seamless and polished, with great underlying finesse. The soft texture entices, as rich and salty melon and citrus fruit flavors combine with excellent length. Enjoy this beauty now and over the next five to seven years. Drink 2022-2028- 93
