Albarino

The currently trending varietal, Albariño, has the ability to age better than any Spanish white and in that sense it is considered the finest in the country. This distinctive Galician variety was mistakenly thought to be a Riesling clone from the Rhine in Germany (alba means ‘white’ and riño means ‘Rhine’ in Galician). It hails from Rías Baixas, and produces delicate, lively and aromatic wines when made well.
