Event Description
Albarino is one of the white grapes of the moment - taking over from Picpoul and Sauvignon Blanc as a good choice for a refreshing aperitif.
Albarino is the key grape in the Rias Baixas DO in Galicia in north west Spain and it pairs perfectly with the shellfish and fish from the Atlantic ocean as well as grilled vegetable dishes and salads.
In the UK we can now buy wines from over 30 wine producers from Rias Baixas and the number is growing each year. Styles range from fresh and fruity to lees aged and more complex.
This tasting will introduce you to six well chosen Albarino wines from different producers covering the key styles and will bring the region to life for you.
