Viña Zaco 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 highly refreshing style of wine that is well suited to summer drinking.
