Albarino

Albarino Wine Details
Price: $10.99 per bottle

Description: On the heels of our popular 2004 and 2005 vintages which sold out, our 2006 Albarino stands on its own. Fresh and vibrant tasting, this dry wine is intriguingly aromatic with great acidity. We are one of just a handful of California growers that produce Albarino, a native of Spain.

Varietal Definition
Albarino:
Albarino (known as Alvarinho in Portugal where it is used to make Vinho Verde). White wine grape variety, used to create a serious varietal wine with pleasant citrus fruit aroma, widely grown in regions of N.W. Spain and also in northern Portugal. Thought by some to be a Riesling clone originating from the Alsace region of France.
