Information
Albariño is a white wine from the Rías Baixas region in Spain, known for its pale straw color and crisp, refreshing taste. This wine has a delicate aroma of citrus, green apple, and a hint of floral notes. On the palate, it is light-bodied with high acidity and flavors of lemon, lime, and a subtle mineral finish. Albariño pairs perfectly with seafood, salads, and light appetizers. Its light, crisp nature makes it a versatile wine that complements both casual and elegant dining experiences.
Fun facts
Albariño grapes have thick skins, which protect them from Galicia’s damp climate and fungal diseases. This contributes to the grape’s aromatic intensity and ability to produce wines with excellent aging potential, rare for white varieties.
