Spanish Wine Tasting and Tapas (Albuquerque): Refreshing, citrusy character, but not overly acidic. Good balance, pleasant aromas. Not super exciting, but delivers what it should and ultimately is very enjoyable.

Citrus on the nose w/light color. No legs. Acidic balance of grapefruit & lime. Light wine. Better for spring or summer. Flavor moves toward sauvignon blanc.

Not a wine to make one stand up and take notice, but very pleasant nonetheless. Rather pale in color; flowery, almost sweetish nose. Medium body, lots of citrus and peach notes. Only a hint of the granite minerality that makes Albariño so attractive, but I liked it anyway. Good balance and moderate alcohol level make it quite quaffable. Easy drinking and undemanding.

Nice nose, good mouthfeeel and balanced acidity. It really took a while for this wine to open up. The other notes nailed the flavour profile. Best at cellar temperature.

More complexity in this bottle. Minerals in addition to green apple and kiwi. Dash of bitterness on the finish

Loads and loads of green apple. A dash to the sweet side. A lively and citric albarino, but not too serious. Great value buy

Light with fruit forward. Great on its own or with almost any seafood.

I agree that this wine is easy drinking and undemanding, but not very inspiring. Nice tropical fruit with a short finish. Not very complex.

Aromas of lemon, white peach and apricot blossom lead to an almost oily mouth feel with a crisp acidity and clean finish.
