Picarana is the “village” white, made with Albillo Real or Albillo de Madrid (completely different from Albillo Mayor found in Ribera del Duero) from different sites around San Martín de Valdeiglesias. White fruit, floral notes. Round, quite ripe, moderate acidity. — 3 years ago

Bought this at Jumbo on a whim. Don't have many other tempranillos to compare it with. Stronger than it seems. Good with meat — 6 years ago
Light gold in color.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity and mouthfeel.
Showing limes, apples, light grapefruits, herbs, earth and sea salt.
Tangy finish with almonds and limes.
This is a very unique white wine from Ribera Del Duero in Spain. Drinking very fresh and young as a 6 year old.
A good quality wine that will be nice to revisit it in a couple of years, and see how it evolves.
Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.
Albillo Mayor grapes from old vines.

This was fairly dry but still had good acidity behind it. Full bodied and rich in berry flavors, this is a good wine for a nice meal or a chilly day. — 5 years ago
