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.

Had this With a lobster dinner. Made a great accompaniment. Not a light fruity wine at all. Lots of complexity, with a creamy touch t oit. Fruit is there, but sings background. Very good.
