Perhaps the most highly prized white grape of Spain and Portugal, Albariño is in many ways the crown jewel of Iberian whites. Famous for the crisp, full-flavored wines it produces in Galicia, this varietal is also used to make the refreshing but comparatively lightweight Vinho Verde of the Minho Valley in Portugal. Thought to be a descendant of Riesling, Albariño shares some of its northern counterpart’s characteristics, but it is also notably different in its tendency towards fresh peach and lemon aromas, a marked acidity, and a distinctive minerality. This Californian version of the wine delights with citrus and minerals aplenty, amid a very thirst-quenching and refreshing body and a tight, slightly piquant finish.
