Albarino

Albarino (also known as “Alvarinho”) is a white grape variety that is primarily found along the North Atlantic coastline of Spain and Portugal. Spain’s Galicia region is the traditional home of Albarino, especially the Rias Baixas DO, where it accounts for nearly 90% of all grapes grown.

Across the border in Portugal, the Vinho Verde wine region is the home of Albarino grape production. The true depth and variety of any restaurant wine list can be judged by the diversity of the white wines that are available.

While Chardonnay is often the most popular choice, there are many other options if you are interested in experimenting with different white wines produced around the world, from Australia to California.

Mar de Frades Albarino Atlantico - Rías Baixas

An awesome example of the Albarino grape from the Rias Baixas region of Spain. The colour is pale lemon with reflections of sweet lime accompanied by the required brilliance. The smell begins with a magnificent collection of floral aromas, which passes to notes of lychee, fresh grass and white pear, to finally feel a balsamic depth. The taste is alive, saline, harmonious, and with a praiseworthy youth, a faithful reflection of its Atlantic character.
