Tasting - Camino Del Peregrino Albarino 2015

Name: Camino Del Peregrino Albarino 2015
Variety: Albarino
Region: Rias Baixas
Country: Spain
Year: 2015
Price: Unknown

Critic Review (Could not find 2015 vintage review, 2009 vintage review given): Albarino is Spain’s contribution to the world of white wine. The variety’s profile in Australia has risen recently and our dollar has helped the Galician product make its presence felt.
The Rias Baixas region of NW Spain, close to where the Atlantic hits the Bay of Biscay, is where this grape performs to its best and the combination of sunny warmth with cold ocean winds is the secret. The wines typically taste of stone fruit, frequently verging floral, but its ripe-grape flavours are always carried by keen acidity. Here’s an example.
It has delicate pear fruit flavours, with elements approaching apricot and a wonderfully lemony tension. It is long and dry and lingering. All in all, you’d say on first sip, seared scallops (please) or swordfi sh that’s seen seconds under the grill.
My Review: I noticed that this wine also has a small nose. The main thing unusual I noticed about this wine was that I found that this wine had a taste that lingered on at the end.

I did not have this wine with food.
