Tasting Notes
Bursting with rich, ripe flavor, Albari?o can show flavors of orange blossom, lime, pear, melon and white peach. It may also have notes of raw almond, freshly cut grass, jasmine or geranium. The best examples boast zingy acidity and often a briny, mineral quality. It is typically fermented in stainless steel to preserve purity of fruit, though oak-aged examples can provide a weighty yet refreshing alternative to Chardonnay with surprising potential for aging. Due to Albari?o?s thick skins and large number of pips, it often shows a hint of attractive bitterness on the palate.
