This is what good wine from the Albariño grape tastes like

The Albariño grape is usually harvested early. It then gives light, refreshing white wines with a taste of freshly squeezed grapefruit and lemon. Often with a spicy mineral support. If the Albariño is harvested late, it tastes somewhat riper with tones of apricot and peach.

We know the Alvariño or Alvarinho, as the Portuguese write it, especially from the Portuguese wine region Vinho Verde. They grow it there on pergolas to get the highest possible yield per hectare. They harvest it young because they like fresh, bone-dry white Vinho Verde. And that is why the sparkling fresh Albariño is their great friend.

They are also very fond of it in Spain. Especially in northern Galicia, close to the Portuguese border. The Albariño is responsible for the enormously increased popularity of the Rías Baixas region, where they like to mix it with Torrontés and Treixadura, for example.

We currently have three wines made from the Albariño grape in our range. You can view our Albariño wines here.
