Tasting Notes : Finca de Arantei produced their first Albarino in 1985. The 2006 Albarino, aged for 3 months on its lees, is medium straw-colored with an attractive bouquet of mineral, melon, nuts, and lemon peel. Smooth textured, intense, well balanced, and lengthy, it is one of the finer Albarinos in my tastings.Food & Wine PairingsGoes Great with: Chicken (Grilled, Fried, Stir-Fry); Turkey, Goose, Ham, Swordfish, Halibut, Haddock, Lobster.Pasta with: light oil-based, white cream, pesto, puttanesca, alfredo, vodka, primavera, and seafood.Salads: Chef, Cobb, Pasta, Shrimp.Cheese: Brie, Swiss Gouda.Soups: vegetable, chicken, potato-based, chowder, bisques.
