Nov 13th, 2022Enjoyable as an aperitif. My wife said it tasted like apple cider to her. I enjoyed it, tart apple, some citrus but I would have been hard pressed to identify the varietal as Albarino.

Very bright with a lot of fruit. Good apertif but not enough acid with the food.

Oh dearie me. It smells like a dehydrated Chinese person ate a lot of pumpkin then pissed all over a seat and didn't clean it. (Don't worry, I'm Chinese, so obviously I just mean me, and I've done this before.) Tastes like ... roasted Chinatown peanut skins with yeast. Los Chuchaquis Lime Kiln Valley field blend.
