Envidia Cochina Slow is Beautiful Albariño
Really funky - the anti Albariño. Completely organic, bio, and nuts. Smells like champagne, sherry, and dried apples. Completely opposite of the nose is the palate - zingy, vibrant, palate cleansing. This is fun.

2 people found it helpfulApr 5th, 2018like every other comment- great label and high geek level. smells and tastes like something else! breaks the classicprofile box. smells to me like warm Maconnais pear fruit. punchy acid, thin watery finish after the medium body mouthfull. and a lingering nutty light savor, maybe like a light Lustau fino (since we're all comparing). I've gotta quiet down and let it be what it is :p
