Beykush Albariño

Albariño is known from the Spanish province of Galicia. It comes from a vineyard right on the Black Sea, between Odessa and Kherson. Summers are warmer there, there's less rain, but it's also less sunny. A question for vinologists: What effect do these "terroir differences" have on the wine?

This Ukrainian Albariño is refreshing and refined. Clean juice of peach, melon, and lime. A little less citrus that bursts out of the glass than some Galician examples. Riper and softer. Perfect with baked sea bass. You don't have to be a vinologist to appreciate that.
