One of Uruguayan whites you should try soon. Albariño, South America, Eduardo Boido style. Bouza

Flight of Bouza Albariño. The 2005 was the standout but 2006. 2008 and 2013 good. 2005 showed notes of dried apple, dried pineapple, whiff of almonds tied up with a creamy velvety bow.

My first wine from Uruguay! Almost white in color. Massively complex nose that contains mango, butter, pineapple, and a variety of other things. Wine is thick with a nice balance between tartness, cream, and minerality. Very Chard like minus the oak. Medium+ finish. When paired with pulled pork tacos it tastes like a Green Apple Blow Pop! 9.3 without food, 9.5 with, so pair it with some spice and beef. Great rec by the local wine store. Impressive and great value @ £20!

2013 Bouza Albariño from Uruguay. The standard for Albariño from this burgeoning region. Citrus blossom, lemon peel, apricot, pineapple with a smooth, round texture. Divine.
