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.

Wonderful cristalline whine...with an intense flower and citrus aroma. Zesty and refreshing highly aromatic wine. Ideal for the summer.

"Great sangria starts with great wine. Barona is a rich white - its floral and herbal aromas and fruit flavors make it an ideal selection for a summery sangria." -Gourmet

An Albarino of substance. Layers of tastes - earthy, luscious and fruity. Peaches, Key limes and oranges, but with some restraint. Good with pork. -Dow Jones Albarino Index
