Straw green color. Aromas of fallen apple and melon rind, green tree bark, moss, and jasmine with a lean, crisp, dryish light body and a smooth, brisk pear skin and pomelo finish with no oak flavor. An earthy white for the table.

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.
