It was Weston’s hosting today for the Wednesday Wine Committee and probably the most informative lunch to date. Though everything was tasted “blind” as usual, we were all given a list of grapes to choose from for the whites and the reds, since they were all meant to be very similar.
The last white wine which for me, was the easiest to determine. Very floral nose but a sweet finish, especially in comparison to the first two. ✔️

Pineapple peaches and apricot. Very intense nose. Has lees but they're there for texture not for flavor. Chalky rocky pebbly finish. #ríasbaixas#riasbaixas#albariño

Wonderful nose full of opulent tropical fruit, pineapple and papaya along with a saline snap. Clean (maybe too clean) on the palate with linear white fruit and short wet stone finish

Lemon, kiwi, underripe stone fruit, and green melon. Great salinity and minerality. Medium alcohol, high acid, and a long finish. A really nice Albariño.

Very good 2017. One of subtlest albariños I have tried. Tangy without acidity, lemony with a touch apple, tarragon and slight bitterness st end. Worked with asparagus soup, fish and tomato and then pear and raspberry
