2023 Albariño
NEW RELEASE
Originally thought to have been brought to the Iberian Peninsula during the 12th century by Cistercian monks, the name Alba-Riño means “from the Rhine.” Today Albariño is widely planted in the northwestern part of Spain in the region of Galicia, as well as in the Portuguese Vinho Verde region where it is known as Alvarinho. Foodies adore this most fashionable white grape variety, owing to its preternatural ability to pair with the salty and the spicy (think seafood tapas, ham, prosciutto, smoked salmon, Manchego cheese, capers and oysters).
Pure and vibrant, our 2023 vintage has aromas of pineapple, pear, stone fruit and floral honeysuckle. Fermented and aged in stainless steel to preserve freshness and varietal character, this medium-bodied aromatic white possesses mouthwatering crisp acidity and a lingering bright tropical fruit finish. It’s a fan favorite in our tasting room.
