Description
From the Winery: The grapes are whole-cluster pressed, and the juice from the three blocks is combined in a stainless-steel tank for fermentation. The Albariño is fermented in stainless steel at temperatures ranging from 56º to 59ºF. Cool fermentation ensures preservation of the bright, fresh fruit flavors, and can require several weeks to complete. When alcoholic fermentation is complete, the wine remains in stainless steel for repeated cold-settling until it is ready for bottling, approximately 4 months.
Tasting Notes: Pale straw color. True to form, with floral and fruity aromas, including lime, nectarine and passionfruit. Flavors include nectarine and mango with key lime acidity. Zingy, lively and delicious. Pair this popular wine with a chilled shrimp cocktail with avocado, grilled fish tacos with a squeeze of lime; lemony Caesar salad—any foods that are light in fat but full of flavor. Great on a warm day with a view of the sea!
