Wine Review: This light yellow colored Albarino opens with a green apple and apricot like bouquet. On the palate, this wine is light bodied, zesty, and a touch effervescent. The flavor profile is a tart green apple with notes of mineral blended in. The finish is dry and subtle. I found this wine to be a blend of two styles. It will appeal to Sancerre fans and New Zealand Sauvignon drinkers as well. So give this Albarino a try with a ham and experience something different. 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 base notes. Very fresh flavors balanced by lively acidity giving a crisp, attractive taste, good body and a pleasant aroma on the palate. A varietal character that is elegant and persistent. Paco & Lola is the perfect duo for sushi, fish, and white meats.
