Light body and fruit with a dry acidity as the main character note with a bit of minerality hiding underneath. I enjoyed the bottle but it did not set my world on fire... nice summer evening sipping.

White flowers, grapefruit, candy spritz. Vibrant, racy and refreshing with a touch of brininess and wonderful array of flavors that dance across the palate.

This is a very tasty white wine made from a white Spanish Varietal, not a widely available wine in the United States. It is a very light silvery color with a grapefruit, anise and overall citrus nose. The mouth feel is a light bodied wine with tart lemon/lime fruit and acidic finish.

(Abacela Estate Grown Albarino Umpqua Valley) An extremely aromatically appealing wine with spice, lime, floral notes, and savory notes. The palate is tart and austere, bringing a big blast of mouthwatering acidity and green apple flavors. 100% Albariño. Aged in stainless steel. 13.1% alcohol. TA 10.8g/L. 1,259 cases produced.

Not much going on with this except acidity. Paired with schrimp scampi and didn't work.
