Valmiñor 2005 [White]
Producer: Adegas Valmiñor
Region: DO RÍ­as Baixas

In theory, Albariño whites supposed to be drunk as young as possible; but this wine (from an outstanding vintage) is a joy to drink right now and will show well for another year or two. A good match for fish or shellfish, but also nice on its own.

Bright pale yellow straw color. Clean and fresh on the nose with flowers, pears, apricots and citrus aromas. On the palate it's fresh and crisp, but not harsh with fresh fruit, lemony/citrusy flavors and a nice long finish. Very good.
