Altos de Torona
Rias Baixas Albariño
Rías Baixas, Galicia, Spain
This pale Albariño has a citrus-first nose showing lemons, peaches and twist of tangerine. The palate displays tart apples, lemon zest and some white pepper. The acidity is fresh and the wine finishes very clean, with minerality lingering after the sip.

Listed on the bottle as 100% Albariño, I see in other places that three grape varieties are involved, 85% Albariño, 10% Caíño and 5% Loureira. Aged for four months sobre lias - on the lees - the wine’s alcohol content is 13% abv and it retails for $20.
This Rias Baixas Albariño colors up yellow-gold in the glass and offers a beautiful nose of white flowers and Meyer lemon. The palate brings citrus, apple and a ton of minerals to the forefront, with a great acidity.

Lovely example of Albariño from the O Rosal sub-region. Subtle apple, white peach and cucumber, moderate acidity and lively mineral notes on the finish. Notably silky texture in the mouth - beautiful with grilled scallops

Green grass and wet hay on the nose and palate. Slight cat's pee element. Good acidity. Very pleasant wine.

Green start but complex finish. Not bad!

Очень устричное вино, тропики, маракуйя, лайм, море, ярко, полно и чуть сладковато. Чисто, без напряжения, но аккуратно и дружелюбно.
