Rías Baixas Albariño
Rías Baixas, Galicia, Spain
On par with the very best Albariño I’ve ever had. Ripe orchard blossoms and green apple fruit and peach purée on a sourdough cracker. This is special.

The canopy system used in the Rias Baxias region of northwest Spain provides for ample aeration and keeps the vines protected from the moist ground which breeds an environment not conducive to support healthy clusters. The Galician climate receives moisture from the Atlantic and is mostly sticky, warm and rainy with rain ☔️ most days during the year. Winters are a bit harsh and cold. The humid, salt air is what this viticultural environment is all about. The mostly white wines made here are highly acidic, with notes of tart, green apple 🍏 and white flowers. Most wines are aged in stainless steel and some see new, French oak for a few months. Then they are aged in the bottle. You can cellar them for up to 5-6 years. The Albariño grape is the most expensive and most difficult to produce in all of Spain.

Pale yellow colour with aromas of green apples and hints of citrus on the nose. The palate is fresh, with a bracing acidity, peachy notes, nice streak of minerality and a long finish. O'Briens €19.95 offer.

Scents of honey and stone fruit. Tasting notes green apple, lime, and honeydew melon.

Albarino, one of my fave white wine. Peach and subtle melon on the nose. Nice acidity and dry on the palate.
