Wine & Beer Features

Albariño
Single Vineyard Selection– 2006
Vionta, Rias Baixas, Spain


Thanks to the brilliant foresight of German monks about 500 years ago, Albariño (a cousin of the Riesling varietal) was planted in northern Spain. The wine is fresh, zesty and citrusy. It has a gorgeous acidity with a variety of breakfast fruit flavors and a sumptuously smooth lingering taste. Pairs well with a fresh salad or spicy Asian cuisine.
