  Light to medium golden color. Aromas of tropical fruits–notably pineapple and papaya, salty seaside air, some waxy yellow fruit, and a very light hint of burnt matchstick. Pretty full body, medium(+) acid and finish, and flavors of pineapple, pear, green apple, banana, fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme), and a mineral streak, the latter two lingering to really tease out the finish. While acid and mineral are present, this is on the fatter side of albariño from my experience. Pretty solid juice for the $11 paid.

  I've tried a few different bottles of this, and they've all either been extremely reductive or there's some other fault that's going on with them. All have been very sulfurous on the nose, and make an off-putting chemical impression. Less obvious on the palate, but not much going on there other than some citrus. Avoid.

  High salinity but not out of balance. Wisps of the sea. I drank it solo but would be a great match with seafood

  Pours darker yellow. Lemon, herb (basil?) And mineral nose. More lemon and honey in the mouth, good acid. Short finish. Goes well with grilled halibut.
