Great acidity with a domestic rich mid palette, a great sipper & will work wonders with a meal

Surprise. Wilson Mabel paella dinner and didn’t realize this was CA Alberino! Nose of white flowers laced with minerals lemons. Firm acidic palate with biting finish. 580 cases total! Brand and Family produced it.

A first and a surprise! Late fall flowers and minerals acidic balanced tingling palate and good finish. Didn’t do quite as well the next two days in Eto as aromas faded.

Makes Albariño seem worthy of varietal royalty. Interesting fruit complexity: full dose of soft pear, ripe peach and it's pit, and lime zest. MLF and/or shorter sur lie because no floating evidence but butterscotch/honey is there. Albariño's heavier succinic (salty) acid, some barrel age, ..smoky limestone?, moderate plus acid finish, Only 12.5% alc.

Young and powerful. Chalky. Chablis-esque.

Maxwell Cromwell

Always a winner!

Apricot everywhere! Incredibly aromatic, ripe peaches, floral, minerals, a little sour and bitter mid palate but the lasting acid balances out the ripe stone fruits. I want to drink this by the beach, in a bikini, eating peaches and lobster while watching the waves of a hot summer day.

Sharp but fruity
