white grape

Albariño

Cool, Atlantic-influenced Galician and Portuguese coastal climates.

Known as: Alvarinho, Cainho Branco

Albariño is Spain's famous Atlantic white, a grape of surprising salinity and liveliness grown mostly in Galicia's Rías Baixas.

Its bright citrus and stone fruit, threaded with a note of sea spray, make it the perfect accompaniment to fresh seafood.

For the buyer, Albariño is a superb shellfish wine that drinks beautifully young and chilled.
