RARE GRAPE VARIETAL RESOURCE

Albarin Blanco is a rare light-skinned grape variety used in northwestern Spain (specifically Castilla y Leon. Asturias and Galicia). 

The aroma profile of Albarin Blanco wines falls somewhere between Albarino and Gewurztraminer. Tasting notes often include references to ripe limes, lychee, mint, fig and orange. This is inevitably affected by winemaking style, however. It should be noted that some of the finest Albarin Blanco wines are subjected to malolactic fermentation, extended lees contact and barrel aging, to create broader, richer, fuller-bodied styles.

Albarin is used to produce both varietal wines and blended wines.
