Fresh from the Atlantic — citrus, peach and a salty sea breeze.
Albariño comes from rainy, green Galicia in north-west Spain and neighbouring northern Portugal. Thick skins protect it from humidity, and the result is a fresh, aromatic white with high acidity, stone fruit and a distinctive saline finish — a natural partner for seafood.
