Raimat: Albarino, 2011...i picked up this wine tonight @whole foods...albarino is the white grape of galicia, spain...it should have some fruit like apricot or peach....higher acidity...and some minerality due to the granite and slate soils and saltiness due to the close proximity to the atlantic ocean...this wine delivers!!!...well-balanced, apricot notes, minerality, rolling acids that do not pierce the tongue and alcohol that is low...12.5% ...this allows the fruit to speak and does not burn your throat....i am enjoying it /w/ some pork spare ribs and a portabella mushroom stuffed and broiled /w/ goat cheese, tomatoes and olive oil ...this wine would also pair /w/ chicken, some fish and seafood dishes and would be great while enjoying your favorite texas lake or river...check out this producer or another producer of albarino! cheers and enjoy!
