  Initial bitter attack on first sip and swished, but not in finish. Stone fruit but what? Peach? Nectarine? Just the slightest hint of grapefruit on the finish, what I call tired grapefruit. Ever so slight and very fleeting. Taste concentrated mid to front of tongue. Gives the sensation of bitter grapefruit without the actual flavor. Acid and unique flavor cut through food and resets taste buds. Don't think this would work with red tomato sauce. Keep to cream or olive oil. Ready now. Better than average albarino.

  Great QPR. Nice acidity and very refreshing on a warm evening.

  Really good QPR. No bitter finish that I sometimes get on Albariño. Good acid with notes of apple, pineapple, lemon to balance the acid. Good length and great complexity for a $14 bottle!

  Delicious, drank this with zataar crusted mahi mahi. Excellent cellar pick for this combo.
  
  Fresh tasting and generally as expected nice petrichor note was perhaps slightly unexpected but definitely appreciated!

  Pale yellow without much nose. A few tight bubbles combine with high acidity to give it a really nice kick. White pepper on the finish and the taste has pepper, green apple, and orange. Really tasty and refreshing.
