Albariño Wines
Albariño is a green-skinned grape variety originating from Galicia, Spain. It is best known for being the key grape variety in Ria Baixas, where it makes crisp and well-textured Spanish white wines. Also it is used for making the famous portuguese white wines from the Vinho Verde DOC where the variety is known as Alvarinho. Albariño has a high acidity and can be produced as a light white wine or in a richer style, with oak or on the lees, which adds to the texture and structure.
