Producers Notes:

This aromatic, rich white combines the native Spanish white grape varietal Albariño with internationally recognized, yet relative newcomer to Spain, Chardonnay. Chardonnay {60%} gives a deep rich mouth-feel, round tropical fruit aromas, and citrus notes. Albariño {40%} is a thick-skinned Spanish grape contributing intense floral aromas with bright acidity, peach flavors, and hints of spice. This grape is a native of Galicia in Northwestern Spain. Tasting Notes: A lively straw-green color with a fragrant floral nose of exotic fruits with hints of fresh citrus. The rich and luscious palate has highlights of ripe peach, tropical fruit, and a long, clean citrus finish.
