  Pale yellow colour, smells of gooseberry and rhubarb, medium body, has a little bit of residual sugar, so not completely dry, has a little bit of acidity, in the mouth gooseberry and quince, in the aftertaste gooseberry, quince and acidity, good length (15 sec), good Albarino, will buy again.

  Interestingly a bit reminiscent of a Pouilly Fume but more fleshy/less lean. Pear, lemon, white basalmic, some mineral notes, and alcohol lift on the nose. Good mouth feel. Lively acidity keeps fleshiness at bay. Pit fruit, herbally, oak/cedar incense mid-palate (and on the nose; I get this on good pouilly fumes too...seductive). Good balanced finished but overall could be more integrated. Good crowd pleaser with the general palate person maybe not appreciating the moderate complexity while still tickling the wine geek’s senses. Food friendly despite the fruit driven nature but great alone. This is a solid wine.

  Tangy citrus and mineral notes. Very good acidity and body. Great QPR.
