Reviews and Ratings

Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

The 2016 albarino is bright with pale straw colour. Declared 13% ABV. Stone fruit dominant. Great acidity. Pairs well with summer salads or seafood. Briny and sooo tasty. Perfect pairing with summertime festivities, cottage life, beach picnics. Easily enjoyable on it's own. Tasted April 2017. 90 points.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
