Columna Albarino 2024

Tasting notes

This wine displays a brilliant yellow color and lively aromas of quince, lemon zest, and jasmine that develop a strong mineral character with air, while the palate is dry, sharply focused, and nervy, presenting densely packed flavors of bitter citrus pith, pear skin, and honeysuckle with excellent clarity, finishing taut and stony with a lingering hint of honeysuckle and delicate floral notes. Albariño's crisp clean flavors are extremely versatile. Seafood, clams, oysters are what the local Galician people eat with this queenly grape. It also pairs like magic with Sushi, Indian, or Thai. Other pairings that are successful include hard-to-pair, popular take-out meals like cold sesame noodles, chicken tikka masala, pad thai, and tacos.
