This shows the tart side of Albariño, with a lively lemon, sea mist and peach bouquet leading to tangy citrus focused palate that scours and cleanses, leaving that bright lemon impression behind. It would be a perfect hot weather glass, and a fine accompaniment for green salads or a plate of oysters. A Platinum Award winner at the 2018 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
