Proof that Albariño can age. Vibrant aromas of ripe lemon, with hints of pineapple and apricot, plus a distinct saltiness that carries through to the palate. Lees contact adds a richness and creaminess to the texture, balanced by laser-sharp acidity. A breezy freshness allied to fruity notes of lemon, grapefruit and pineapple, with a saline finish. Great match for seafood.
