Wine Review: This light yellow colored Albarino opens with a mild and inviting green apple bouquet with a hint of honey. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied and shoes some viscosity. It is also balanced and crisp. The flavor profile is a mineral infused mild green apple. The finish is dry and its mineral notes pleasantly linger. This wine is very food friendly and would pair well with ham based dishes. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Straw yellow color with hints of green in the rim. Clean and brilliant. Complex with outstanding aromatic intensity. Fine notes of fruit (Citrus, green apples) herbaceous notes (basil) and floral notes. Very fresh flavors balanced by lively acidity giving a crisp, attractive taste, good body and very pleasant on the palate. True varietal character that is elegant and persistent.
