Lias Rías Baixas Albariño

Vintage 2017 | lychees, buttery, hint of bananas

A refreshing and complex Albariño with aromas and flavors of quince, papaya, peach, pear, and golden apple. Super elegant!

All the aromatic quality of a typical Albariño but with the added creamy mouthfeel of lees aging.

Дыня, персик, маракуйя, ананас, шкурка желтого яблока, трава, ваниль, при нагреве миндаль. Плотное, нежирное тело; мощная, немного тропическая концентрация; сбалансированная свежесть. Уверенно и харизматично, но не изысканно.

Used as a cooking wine mostly but tasty on its own too. Hubby said it has an unpleasant sulfur note that smells like a fart. It's subtle but he cant ignore it. But the pleasant lime and papaya notes typical of albarinos are still there. Flavor is great. Lime zest, nice tartness without being biting. Light body. Good for a 10 dollar cooking wine.

Full-bodied Albariño with medium minerality, served with polpo (octopus) at Restaurante Barbiana in Sevilla, Spain

Sufficiently complex blend of pear, apple, and green grape flavors in a buttery, medium bodied wine. Crisp, but not light. Good value at Costco.

A subtle and complex albarino quite honeyed and long. £18 at Andrew Taylor
