What to Expect

Albariño is a grape indigenous to the border region that separates Spain from Portugal, where the grape is know as Alvarino. It produces a medium to light-bodied white wine that is rich with peach and citrus fruits while the aromas tend to the floral and slightly nutty end of the spectrum. The wines have bright acidity and an easy-drinking quality that has propelled them to new heights of popularity.

Winemakers Notes

92 points Wine and Spirits `Golden in color and in ripe flavors of nectarine and kumquat this wine finishes clean and long. The final impression is of a gentle rain along the coast cool and refreshing. For mackerel sashimi.` And according to Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: `The 2006 Finca Monte Alto is a single vineyard selection of Albarino. Light gold-colored it has an alluring perfume of mineral apple lemon spring flowers and pineapple. On the palate it has a smooth nearly creamy texture ripe fruit and good balance.
