Taste profile from the winemaker: "A lovely, straw-colored white wine with a good fruity nose and floral hints. On the palate, beautiful citrus fruit flavors emerge. It is a gentle, fresh, harmonious wine with a good and lingering finish."
ABC Wines review: This albarino possesses a fresh, citrus fragrance with just a hint of apple blossoms. Initially quite crisp, the citrus flavors are balanced by a mineral acidity. The finish is quite long, tart and dry. A very nice wine, indeed. Pair with grilled chicken or fish. Rated 90 points by Wine Enthusiast and designated a best buy (11/2007). Our score: Above Average to Excellent.
