Pale lemon/lime colored with a watery sheen (13% ABV). The nose has medium (+) intensity aromas of peach, white pear, sea salt, green apple, lemon zest, grapefruit and waxy lanolin. The palate is dry with high acidity and a medium (-) body. Tart flavors of lemon zest, green apple, peach, sea spray and white pear. The finish is tangy, zesty and medium in length. This $9 stunner is a dead ringer for Albarino imo- cutting acidity, sea spray, peach and lemon zest remind me of that grape. I am pairing it with steamed King Crab, seems like the natural thing to do. 89 points from me makes this a 5 star effort that I will pound this summer- after all it runs under a tenner. Salut….
