Albariño + Video Link

Albariño is one of my favorite whites, especially during the summertime. It's the perfect porch sipper or even food-friendly wine out there! I love pairing this wine with fish-based foods. Whitefish, fish salad, fish tacos, and sushi are excellent pairings with the stone fruit notes, citrus, high acid, and saline notes. Albariño is usually grown in the area of Rías Baixas, Galicia, Spain, along the Iberian Peninsula. A lot of influence from the Atlantic Ocean which is where part of its saline components come from. Since the grape has such high acid, it can also come from Succinic Acid, which is an acid usually found in grapes where it can have the wine taste "Salty" or "bitter." Also known as Alvarinho in Portugal where its usually grown in the Vinho Verde region.
