Subtle hint of Brioche (something I never get from an Alvarhino - Albariño), cardamom and baked Apricot. Alvarhino are so food friendly and this wine could be served with food or not; the acids are approachable on all levels

Nora Albariño a wondrous wine to enjoy as a stand-alone wine or with food; an excellent seafood wine or with Spanish almonds. This wine gives abundance of fresh cut grass, Meyer lemon zest, Granny Smith apple, kiwi, and Adriatic fig. Any time I drink an Albarino I think of a kiwi farm where many vineyards once held kiwi plantings. Albarino’s are more expensive than some American whites but have a rightful place in the culinary and wine worlds.
