Grapes & Style

Albariño

Albariño is the signature white grape of Galicia’s Rías Baixas, on Spain’s Atlantic coast, and it’s also grown across the border in Portugal as Alvarinho. It’s one of the great coastal white grapes: aromatic, refreshing, and naturally suited to seafood and salty air.

In the vineyard, Albariño does well in damp Atlantic conditions partly because its thick skins help resist rot. It keeps acidity well and can develop plenty of flavor without needing excessive ripeness. Trellising and canopy management matter in its humid home regions, where airflow is important.

In the glass, Albariño often shows citrus, peach, green apple, flowers, sea spray, and a subtle bitter or saline finish. It can be simple and crisp, but the better versions have real texture and mineral drive. Good Albariño is bright without being sharp, aromatic without being sugary, and very easy to want another glass of.
