Richer, riper style—really interesting comparison to Rías Baíxas

This wine has more tropical fruit than Carmen Miranda's hat. Pineapples and bananas are sticking out in front, citrus and peaches on the sides and flowers all around. And those are just the smells. Take a swig of this chilled Albariño and let your fruit flag fly. But there is a nice hatband of minerality and a gentle lemon-lime note joined by a brimful of acidity. You'll want something like this anytime you find yourself under a Panama hat.

Refreshing with flavors of white peaches, lemons with hints of bananas in the finish.

Lots of fruit flavors like peach, grapefruit, pineapple, and citrus among others but it’s not sweet or fruity. A nice yummy long finish too. I really like this with my spicy dinner.

A bit of fruit, a bit edgy on top. A perfectly fine white for chilling in the yard on a summer evening.

Exciting case of a wine exceeding the impression from the tasting room. Really enjoyed this one.
