The great spanish white wine success of the late 20th and early 21st century has been albariño from this region in galicia, in far northwestern spain. Spanish vineyards are not known for their ease of access and even when they are open to tourists, they usually concentrate on their red wines. Albarino (alvarinho) is a white grape variety originating in spain.
This is a delicious albariño that's lively and focused with zesty grapefruit and lemon flavours, a bit of pithiness and a keen citrussy finish.
Albariño is relatively new in terms of spanish wine, having taken off in the late eighties. Albariño white wine loves fresh seafood so remember to stock the fridge before your next paella party. Local legend has it that german pilgrims to the galician shrine of santiago de compostela brought cuttings of riesling vines from their homeland and planted it. If you like cava, you can find a guided tour, such as the montserrat and cava trail tour.
