Lusco
Rías Baixas Albariño



Pazo de Lusco sits in the glass as a lovely, light yellow liquid. The nose shows off the aromas for which the grape is famous - green apples, flowers and minerals. The minerals take center stage on the palate, which is rich and savory. It is the minerals which stand out the most here, making this a great wine for pairing with food. I had mine with a Mexican shrimp dish, but it will fit well with other spicy cuisines, too, like Thai or Cajun.

This 100% Albariño has a nice golden hue, a little richer that is usual for the varietal. On the nose, there is the expected spray of flowers, but an earthy note comes on strong, much to my liking. It's a nutty aroma that mixes in with the citrus zest. The palate also brings it, with a savory herbal aspect that honors the lemon beautifully. The finish is medium long and loaded with lemon.

First class tasting. Fruity, citrusy very sweet not dry.
