South Africa may not be the first place that comes to mind for Albariño, yet this white from Manchester-based Reserve Wines’ First Crush label ticks all the boxes. Attractive peach, green apple, and lemon rind on the nose, high acidity yet with enough lemon and green apple for balance, plus a salted almond tang on the finish.
