Tasting notes
This classic Albarino shows straw yellow with greenish reflections. It is clean on the nose good intensity, fresh, aromas of citrus, pear and crisp apple fruit with hints of floral notes. Tasty, balanced, fresh, cheerful on the palate; well-balanced and very food friendly.

Mild all year-round, particularly in summer. Mild temperatures in the summer allow the grapes to ripen slowly, thus maintaining all the aromas of the varieties as well as a significant level of acidity,
both necessary for producing fresh fruity wines.
