Fresh & Juicy Albarino

Join renowned sommelier Ben Moechtar, from Delicado Wines as he talks about this fresh and juicy Albarino from Rias Baixas, Spain. The 2009 ‘Davila’ from producer Valminor has flavours of pear, and is slightly peppery. Fantastic with seafood on a hot summers day.

Importers, The Spanish Acquisition, say “A dramatic rich, textured and succulent take on Albariño and friends. Fuller than the straight varietal, however it remains well cut and structured – a wine of silky languor, floral and rich but grassy and long as well. The pear’n’peach fruit gains a waxy white floral hit and is deep and lengthy, complexed with paw paw, honey and nectar. 75% Albariño/15% Treixadura/10% Loureiro.”

Salute!
