Albariño is the primary grape used to make dry white wine in the Rias Baixes (Lower Inlets) section of the Galicia region of Northwestern Spain. Considered by many to be Spain's premier quality white wine grape, this variety is a relative newcomer to California vineyards. This Albariño is sourced from the Sweetwater Ranch located in the rolling hills east of King City in Monterey County. The wine is direct with great aromatics, plenty of luscious flavors and a crisp finish. There is a mineral component on the palate that mingles with refreshing pineapple, honeyed flavors of apple and citrus.
