Brecon Estate
Central Coast Albariño
Central Coast, California, USA
Light golden in color with a yellow hue.
Pretty nose of tropical fruits, citrus, yellow apples, melons, pears, bananas, pineapples, spices and white pepper.
Medium bodied and refreshing with bright acidity.
Dry on the palate with grapefruits, limes, lemons, green apples, spices and bitter herbs.
Tangy finish with limes and grapefruits.
This is a nice Albariño from California. Good by itself or with food. Tasty and tangy. I really enjoyed the nose here, even more than the palate.
Feels like a Sauvignon Blanc with a twist. Very interesting.
Refreshing and good for parties or the pool. I had it all by itself by the beach.
A small production of 307 cases.
14.2% alcohol by volume.
89 points.
$36.

Pours Tuscan sun in color. IN THE NOSE: doesn't have the salinity aroma of a Rias Baixas Albariño. But does have the grapefruit along with honey. ON THE PALATE: peach, nectarine and citrus. Not as crisp as other Albariños but I have since learned that these wines are meant to be drunk within a year so this may be past its prime it is a good wine just not what I would classify as an Albariño if tasting blind

Crisp, complex and still refreshing- chill extra to soften minerals.
