Albariño

Albariño Wine Details
Price: $24.00 per bottle

Description: New to Albariño? Michael describes it as having the haunting aromatics of Riesling, the bright acid nerve of Sauvignon Blanc, and the mid palate exotic fruit recalling Viognier. The 2004 version is now ready to release and enjoy. Albariño in Carneros has now shown itself consistent in character, with bright fruit, minerality, and a certain complexity many describe as “seashore”. It of course makes a lovely aperitif, but also complements seafood and light savory dishes. It is the quintessential wine to match with tapas, especially when they feature a degree of saltiness or piquant spice. This year’s version is as lively as ever, with the low alcohol (12.0%) we love in this wine
