Bright lemon color with stone and tropical fruit aromas and adding floral citrus scents. On the palate flavors of pear, apples and pineapple with lemon zest and hints of salinity. Well balanced with pleasant lively acidity, long finish ending with mineral, citrus and wet stone nuances. Very nice! Should improve over the next few years. Nice value.

Pale lemon in color.
Light to medium in body with high acidity.
Dry on the palate and simple, with a soft mouthfeel.
Showing limes, grapefruits, lemons, bitter herbs and green apples.
Unbalanced with too much acidity for the fruits. Not my style.
Would be better with fresh oysters.
12.5% alcohol by volume.
83 points.

Fresh gooseberry, lime pith aromas. Light bodied, refreshing, slightly saline. Great patio wine.

Trademark silliness garnished with lime zest and supported by light white bread. Fun n games but like serious yet fun games.

This wine - more than simply Albariño - offers the scents and flavors of the grapes that make up a quarter of it. An earthy nose masks the floral arrangement one expects. There are some herbal elements there, but more along savory lines. The palate shows apples, peaches and a shovel of the earth of Rías Baixas. Nice acidity and a pleasantly earthy finish cap a wonderfully different style for the region.
