ALBARIÑO
(ahl-bah-REE-nyoh)
Grown: In the
SouthEast region
Albariño is a white grape, made
famous by wines produced in
Galicia, a region of northwest Spain,
and northwest Portugal. Historians
believe the vine was brought to the
Iberian peninsula (the landmass
that contains Spain and Portugal)
by French monks in the twelfth
century.
Boasting a cool, rainy climate, Galicia
has a lot in common with some
areas of Pennsylvania, and the grape
is becoming increasingly popular
with Commonwealth winemakers.
In warmer regions with more clay in
the soil, the wines often have riper
fruit flavors (apricot, nectarine, and
mango) and less acidity. In cooler
regions with sandier soil, Albariño
will showcase stronger citrus notes
(lime, lemon, and grapefruit) and
higher acidity. When the thickskinned
grapes are grown close to
the sea, they synthesize the air's
salinity, imparting a slight brine-y
quality to the finished wines.
Albariño is an approachable wine
that drinks zippy, fresh, and dry.
Fans of New Zealand Sauvignon
Blanc should definitely give it a
taste. Like other cold-weather
European whites such as Viognier or
Gewurztraminer, Albariño is famous
for its distinctive botanical aroma
- think apricot and peach. You can
also expect aromas of lemon, lime,
pear, grapefruit, honeysuckle, and
beeswax, in addition to subtle notes
of wet granite and Thai basil.
Drink these wines when they're
young, ideally within 16 months of
harvest - it ensures that the wine will
maintain its trademark acidity and

bold aromas. Tasting notes include
the gentle funk of lees (spent yeast),
nectarine, melon, and citrus. Wines
made from Albariño can also retain
a slight bitter note, a relic from the
large number of seeds in the grapes.
The crowd-pleasing white is
incredibly food-friendly. The most
obvious pairing for Albariño is fresh
seafood, prepared with citrus and
herbs. Those dishes will affirm the
character of the wine. The other
option is to deploy deeply savory
flavors like mushroom-y soft cheese
or char-grilled meat, creating a
contrast with the wine and making
its brightness pop.
If you're serving Albariño, you
can never go wrong by looking to
the cuisine of Spain - the grape's
homeland - serving simple,
seared seafood, charcuterie, salted
potatoes or roasted peppers.
Albariño also makes a wonderful
apéritif. The freshness of the wine
will prime your palette and pair
beautifully with a full array of salty
pre-dinner snacks.
