WINE DESCRIPTION
Atlantik Albarino is a white wine made exclusively from the Albarino grape variety grown in the Spanish appellation of Rias Baixas, located along Spain's Atlantic coast. The cool maritime climate helps preserve the acidity in the grapes and may play a part in the saline mineral finish, which this grape often exhibits in this location. The winemaking is modern with gentle pressing to avoid extracting any bitterness from the grape's thicker skins, and temperature-controlled fermentation in neutral vessels to preserve the wine's orange-scented perfume. The end result is a fruit-forward, acid-driven wine that matches well with seafood dishes and lunchtime salads.

On the palate, Atlantik Albarino showcases a refreshing acidity that is well-balanced with its light body. The citrus flavors persist, accompanied by flavors of ripe peach and a touch of minerality. The wine finishes with a crisp and zesty character, leaving a lingering impression of freshness. Atlantik Albarino is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes. Its vibrant acidity makes it an excellent companion for seafood, particularly shellfish and grilled fish. Try with fried catfish and drink within 5 years.
