Discover the best wines made with Albarino as a single variety or as a blend of England.
Lively, aromatic whites with sharp acidity and a sleek palate, with intense aromas of citrus, white peach, apricot, white flowers, passion fruit and characteristic Atlantic saline-iodine notes. Tonic and long finish. Absolute star of Rías Baixas DO in Galicia (Spain) and signature of Portuguese Vinho Verde as Alvarinho (Monção e Melgaço). Native Iberian variety, exported to Uruguay, California and New Zealand.
Quality renaissance of English wine, signature in traditional-method sparklers. On chalk soils identical to Champagne's (South-East), fine, taut bubbles with signature notes of green apple, lemon, white flowers, brioche and chalk, the vivid acidity of a cool climate. Based on Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier. Still wines a minority: aromatic Bacchus (elderflower, cut grass — the English identity), fresh Pinot Noir.
