- Light gold color with slow forming legs and aromas of peach, apple and melon. It's balanced and has flavours of peach, apple and lemon with a light body. Linear texture with a short finish.

This is a very popular white wine by the glass in our neck of the woods. To my palate, Albarino always shows a chalky, almost vegetative, briny, lime zest flavor that occasionally can be overdone. This popular, value priced offering is relatively moderate with those distinctive flavors, while maintaining it's typicity, The color is more golden than most white wines. The nose is floral first, then very pungent, earthy, lime pith and peach skin. Crisp, fresh palate of spicy, key lime, tangerine, peach, pear and apricot encompassed in a briny mixture. The typical to Albarino acid is expressive, chalky and quick hitting but somehow still civilized. All those pungent aromas and expressive, fruity, acidic flavors really smooth out for a more mild, orchard fruit orientated finish than you would expect.

nice color and good aroma. Pleasant but not great. Would buy again though The wine looks blonde colored. The legs are slow. It smells like lime. It tastes like carnation. The body is light. The wine has smooth texture.

A very pleasant nose of spice, and a little citrus on the palate. A nice balance between creamy and crisp ... not sharp, but not overly soft either. Just smooth and very drinkable.

Light yellow. Gorgeous nose of pears, peaches and a touch of pineapple and citrus. Did great when it was still fairly cold. Very refreshing . Good with turkey and pepper jack cheese sandwich on a warm night. I am surprised that more people don't drink and that so many are unfamiliar with Albariño , these are terrific white wines.

Steely straw with slight green hue; very salty nose, grapefruit pith, citrus, white flower, some richness; fuller on the palate than nose suggests, salty, tangy citrus, good perfume, nectarine; good example of Albarino at a very good price, I'll second Ben's note that this is more Albarino-like than many over the past few years.

Nicely floral. Light, pleasantly balanced palate of citrus/melon. Ideal aperitif or summer white.

Agree with Rezy 13 and Ben, more personality in this vintage, also, it was on sale for $13 which made it all the better.
