Wine of the Week | Fefiñanes Albariño 1583 2016 [White] Fefiñanes was an early pioneer in oak-ageing Albariños. Initially, the wines were pretty oaky, but nowadays the wood elements are nicely integrated, subtle and make for enhanced complexity and a longer life. A lovely, subtly complex nose with stony/mossy background, a layer of apple pie aromas, a hint of nutmeg & forest ferns. Smooth and fresh on the palate with apples, a gentle hint of oak (nutmeg/coconut) and a pleasant mineral touch to the finish. An excellent wine. [$H] |

I've used SRP, which is the normal price in Spain expressed in US dollars [Low=$5-9, Medium=$10-18, High=$19+]. The wines selected are usually moderately priced and generally exported around the world. Some exceptions happen...
