Golden yellow color. Aromas and flavors of conservas, sea breeze, and Marcona almond with a satiny, lively, dry medium body and a tingling, appealing, carefree finish with notes of dried yellow apple, almond, and limestone. Salty, nutty, and filled with dried orchard fruit this will be a good pairing with seafood paella.

About

Albarino

Albariño is a white grape grown in Portugal and Spain (Rias Baixas in north west Spain, near the border with Portugal, is a famous Albariño zone).

The wines are aromatic, aged only in steel and feature exotic aromatics of honeysuckle, peach, melon and orange blossom. Medium-bodied, the wines are dry or off-dry and have very good natural acidity. They are meant to be enjoyed young (within the first year or two after the vintage) and are ideal with shellfish (especially crayfish) and most seafood.
