Lagar de Cervera Albarino, Riax Baixas, Spain

True to Indiana weather patterns, just as we are ready to start thinking about our sweater collection, Mother Nature wants to do a summer reprise for one more week. So to celebrate the extended warm weather, we will sip on some Albarino!

Albarino is a refreshing white wine that grows on the western coast of the Iberian Peninsula. Hailing from 'Green Spain' and Portugal, this variety of wine has rich stone fruit (peaches, apricots, etc), hints of salinity from its proximity to the sea, and invigorating acidity.

A very food friendly wine, this is a perfect pairing with soft and semi- firm cheeses like feta, young Manchego and even a washed rind goat cheese. Because of its maritime influence, Albarino from Rais Baixas is a great with fruit of the sea. A classic pairing with ceviche, fish tacos or mussels.
