  March 19, 2022 - Drunk in a restaurant with no formal notes taken, this was an excellent wine punching above its price tag. Honeyed with lemon and floral notes and an underlying saltiness, this managed to successfully combine with spicy Nepalese food without being overwhelmed. In fact, I find that Alberino wines seem to accompany Indian/Sub Continent cuisine perfectly as an alternative to beer.

  September 24, 2021 - Lovely, mellow Albarino. Softer than some. More warm weather and tropical. But lots going on - minerality, a diversity of fruit nuances, a distinct saltiness. Good start,, Good finush. Very pleasant.

  August 2, 2021 - 90/91. This is very smooth with nice aromas of granite infused stonefruits, honey, veggie hints and lemons and salt. Its medium bodied linear yet nicely freshly fruited concentrated lightly salty, granite infused stonefruits and tropical fruits palate has lovely freshness and good salty unfruity length. 13%. Excellent value at 9 Euros.

  July 21, 2021 - Great Quality Albariño I disagree with many of the tasting notes here and hope I can offer a more professional everyday wine drinkers insight!
  
  Sight: medium staw with pale gold reflection and a tint of green surprisingly might be the limes around the dinner table though haha
  
  Nose: Beautiful Bouquet of white orchid flowers, lychees, and even some white peach/ Pineapple followed by some Yellow apple, starfruit and big ripe lemon leading the yellow and tropical fruit laden aromas.
  
  Taste: Refrshing palate like breathing beach air this wine has ripe tropical yellow fruit and medium + acidity from the lemon and those delicious yellow apples on the palate. The body is also quite nice the Lee’s ageing here keeps the wine a light-medium drinker that rolls on the touge with ease.
  
  OVERALL: I noticed many green apple notes here but I believe thats inaccurate ( although subjective ) you can’t have a yellow tropical citrus in a warm climate then a green apple note doesn’t line up? I think the Acid is from the lemon and there is a ripe yellow apple note not green. Anyhow this is a delicious Albariño and find it hard to dislike great nose and wonderful freshness from a warm climate mostly everyone can this enjoy !
