2021 Albariño

Originally thought to have been brought to the Iberian Peninsula during the 12th century by Cistercian monks, the name Alba-Riño means “from the Rhine.” Today Albariño is widely planted in the northwestern part of Spain in the region of Galicia, as well as in the Portuguese Vinho Verde region where it is known as Alvarinho. Foodies adore this most fashionable white grape variety, owing to its preternatural ability to pair with the salty and the spicy (think seafood tapas, ham, prosciutto, smoked salmon, Manchego cheese, capers and oysters). Pure and vibrant, our 2021 vintage has aromas of pear, citrus, green apple and quince with a lovely floral note. Fermented and aged in stainless steel to preserve freshness and varietal character, this medium-bodied aromatic white possesses mouthwatering crisp acidity and is a favorite in our tasting room.
