Val do Sosego
Rías Baixas Albariño
Rías Baixas, Galicia, Spain
Light straw yellow color, tropical and stone fruit aromas with floral scents. The palate is very crisp with peach and melon flavors adding a good bit of minerality. Medium finish on a soft ending. Easy drinking. Tasting Sample.

Vegetal nose. Rather unappealing. Uneventful.

So, for this holiday season, I picked up a couple of bottles from total wine - a holiday world trip via wine, if you will. The Albariño grape is thought to be a distant cousin to Riesling, however, this white grape loves the heat. The Rías Baixas area of Spain is located on the southwestern coast of Galicia, Spain - just north of Portugal. Albariños are typically light bodied, acidic, and dry wines. ~$15 (2014 vintage) | #totalwine #albarino #spanishwhitewine
On the eyes: Light yellow, starbright, transparent. Light stain, light tears. No gas/floc.
On the nose: Ripe green apple and lime with hints of cashew. A bit of surf on the nose with Med- alcohol.
In the tongue: Med+ acid, med tannin, med- alcohol, round mouthfeel. Green apple swimming in a citrus bath with a slight nutty herbaceous undertone. Weak finish. Drink this one cold!
