Limited Release Albarino 2022
Brown Brothers
Minimum order of 1 case or 6 bottles (Mixed or straight)
Albariño is best suited to cool growing conditions like we experience in the upper reaches of the King Valley. Our Albarino is a delicious aromatic style with bright Citrus and spicy pear aromas, complemented by stone fruits and a crisp, dry palate. Pronounced al-ba-rin-yo, it's a great match with tapas and seafood.
Albariño in northern Spain is traditionally drunk with the local seafood delicacies. This wine is the perfect match for freshly shucked oysters drizzled with a chilli and lime sauce, or pan fried trout fillets with lemon juice, cracked black pepper and rocket salad. It is also quite versatile so a selection of tapas will be sure to delight.
The wine was mainly fermented in tank with 15% fermenting and spending three months in older French oak for added complexity.
