An Albariño from Lagar de Cervera, La Rioja Alta's Galician estate in the Rías Baixas — straw-yellow with green hues, intensely aromatic with citrus rind, apricot, and the classic varietal white fruit of Albariño, fresh and structured in the mouth with a clean finish that brings back the citrus aromas.
Tasting Notes
Straw-yellow with green hues, very bright. Very intense nose with citrus rind aromas accompanied by stone fruit notes of apricots and the typical varietal aromas of Albariño — ripe white fruit, apples, and pears. Fresh on entry with great structure and breadth in the mouth. The finish brings back the freshness and citrus aromas in a clean, long close. A benchmark Rías Baixas Albariño from one of the appellation's most respected producers.
