Clear yellow color, pineapple, tropical fruits, white flowers, sea on smell. Very long persistence, easy to drink, rounded on mouth. It pairs perfectly with seafood. A very good one

Crisp, clean citrus and apple, hint of white peach and subtle spice. A wonderfully balanced Albariño that is an exceptionally versatile wine in good pairings. Shellfish to be sure but also for holiday pass-arounds (goat cheese in filo anyone). Light enough for an aperitif and satisfying enough to go with appetizers and main courses

This Albariño offers a pretty nose of white flowers and apples. The palate adds stone fruit to the green apple notes. The acidity lags a bit, but is still zippy enough, while there's a nice finish that is genuinely refreshing.

Little nose. Thin palate and short finish. A slight soap element on the palate. Hard acidity.

I've always enjoyed this from Ruiz. 2014 vintage. WF sells for $18. Good acid, good finish of white peach.
