Albarin

A rare indigenous Spanish variety, Albarín is often mistaken for Albariño but boasts its own unique identity. Grown primarily in Asturias and Castilla y León, this white grape delivers highly aromatic wines with vibrant citrus, white peach, and floral notes. Brisk acidity and hints of fennel and herbs provide complexity, making it a refreshing and expressive wine. Its naturally low yields and limited plantings make it a rarity, but renewed interest in local Spanish varieties is bringing it into the spotlight. Best enjoyed young, Albarín pairs well with seafood, fresh cheeses, and light summer dishes.
