| tropical fruits lime | ||
| I can see why this wine won a silver medal at the IWC in 2006.
A lovely pale lemon to look at with intense tropical fruits on the nose and also in the mouth with a hint of lime afterwards. There is also a bit of weight. My wine and grapes "bible" describes Albarino as a little like a lighter weight Viognier. I like it and will seek this grape out. From Majestic, £8.49 per bottle or £7.49 if you buy 2. |

wine_scribbler wrote this 667 days agoI sampled several Albarinos at a recent trade fair - not sure if this was one of them though. If anything it has prompted me to write-up the tasting notes!
emma wrote this 666 days agoSounds intrigueing. I find the Viognier grape very appealing but can be a bit intense so I like the sound of Albarino. I'll be sure to look out for it.
