WINE DESCRIPTION
Abacela Albariño is a white wine produced by Abacela Winery, located in the Umpqua Valley appellation of Oregon. The winery is known for its commitment to sustainable farming practices and its use of estate-grown grapes. The Albariño grapes used in this wine are grown in a unique vineyard with a mix of volcanic and sedimentary soils, which impart a distinct minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing and cool fermentation to preserve the delicate aromas and flavors of the grapes. The resulting wine is crisp, refreshing, and aromatic, with notes of citrus, peach, and tropical fruit. It pairs well with seafood, salads, and spicy dishes.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Abacela Albariño is a delightfully complex and layered white wine.On the nose, it offers vibrant notes of peach, apricot, and citrus, with a hint of nutmeg and a slight herbal quality. On the palate, the wine is smooth and well-balanced, with a creamy texture, and flavors of melon, lemon, and grapefruit that linger on the finish. Enjoy this crisp and refreshing Albariño with seafood dishes, poultry, or a light summer salad.

ORIGINS
Winery:  Abacela
Region:  Oregon
Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, located between Washington to the north and California to the south. It is known for its diverse landscape of forests, mountains, rivers, and high desert, and for its vibrant wine industry. Oregon's wine industry dates back to the mid-1800s, when the first vineyards were planted in the Willamette Valley. The region was largely forgotten until the 1960s, when a group of pioneering winemakers began to experiment with Pinot Noir and other cool-climate varieties. Since then, Oregon has become one of the most important wine regions in the United States, with over 500 wineries and more than 1,000 vineyards.
