Lagar de Cervera 2011 [White]
Producer: Lagar de Fornelos
Region: DO Rͭas Baixas

This is a very good example of Albariño, a fine white grape variety native to northwest Spain. A great companion to fish and shellfish, this style is a standard in the country's best seafood restaurants.

Pale straw color, sparkling bright with a touch of green. On the nose it shows the classic Albariño aromas: flowers (honeysuckle), citrus (lime), fresh herbs, stone fruit (peach), along some tropical scents (mango/quince) and a refreshing stony minerality. On the palate it's crisp and fresh with lemon/lime acidity, minerals and fruit (quince/mango). Good length, steely acidity. Very good.
