Caramel apple, full mouthfeel, seems very ripe, almost marzipan, fresh grapes, and medium acid. A little confused by this wine. More ripe and very different form all other Albariño’s I’ve had. Definitely not topical of the varietal that I’m used to.

Straw yellow with aromas of stone and citrus fruits. The palate is crisp with mango and pineapple flavors, high acidity, focused and balanced. The finish is about medium and ends with orange tang and minerality. Refreshing, good value.

Crisp, dry & balanced, notes of stone fruit, pithy acidity& honeysuckle. Appropriately paired and drinkable with Lebanese chicken and rice dish.

Not sure if I got a bad bottle (it was on discount at Trinacria) but it has a smell like fruity urine. Flavors include cat pee, melon, and a general sourness.

Interesting Albariño. Stone fruit, burnt sugar, apple and lime with a really full body mouthfeel. Seems less acidic than some other Albariños. This one was a bit of a surprise.

Ranges from sour to caramelized apple. Not really my cup of tea here.

Oct 26th, 2020My first Albariño, so it's hard to judge... Concentrated white and stone fruit notes, reminiscent of apple juice in a way. Some acidity on the palate.
