Beautiful Albariño from Norrel Robertson (@escoces_volante). Understated peach, stone fruit as well as some citrus and almond blossom on the nose. The palate shows it means business, but not in volume. It's not a quick quaffer; the concentrated mid palate and salty tang with a slight almond bitterness make it more than that. The acidity seems hidden at first, but is definitely there to finish every sip and to make you want more.

Lovely, refreshing and ideal for a summer evening or salty seafood.
