Albariño

Albariño or Alvarinho is a variety of white wine grape grown in northwest Spain and northern Portugal, where it is used to make varietal white wines.

The grape is noted for its distinctive aroma, very similar to that of Viognier and Gewurztraminer, suggesting apricot and peach. The wine produced is unusually light, and generally high in acidity with alcohol levels of 12-12.5%. Its thick skins and large number of pips can cause residual bitterness.

It is possible you have never heard of this varietal, as it is still relatively unknown in California. If, however, you have travelled to the Northwest corner of Spain you likely saw vineyards clinging to steep hillsides above coastal fishing villages. If you ordered a local white wine to wash down your seafood there, you almost certainly were served Albariño.



At Mahoney Vineyards, we strive to produce wines that both showcase our unique vineyards and remind us of their Old-World heritage. This is such a wine. Grown within sight of San Francisco Bay, we share the cool, coastal influences that allow flavor development and preserve acidity in Spanish Albariño, while our climate gives us a richness in the palate as well.		$18.00

Albariño is Spain and Portugal’s most fashionable white grape varietal. All Apricots and white peach, with floral highlights in the nose, this wine is sure to please. This Albariño has good balance and acidity. It pairs well with spicy food and my favorite sushi!		$27.00

Eagle Point Ranch Rate this wine
2006 Albariño

Eaglepoint Ranch's first white wine and its a true winner! From winery partners Roland and Barbara Wentzel's organic vineyard in Anderson Valley comes this delicious wine. Our longtime friend Greg Graziano tutored winemaker Casey Hartlip in the making of this wonderfully floral and vibrant wine. Barrel fermented in neutral barrels and bottled in February to capture the bright mineral texture that this Spanish origin grape is known for, it displays the crispness of a Sauvignon Blanc and the controlled richness of a Viognier. Pair with a shellfish appetizer or soft cheeses before dinner.

2005 Albarino

Vintage Selections Wine of the Week: “A dramatic white wine that delivers classic spiced lemongrass and minerally aroma. Basically dry, but has a suculence that works with Japanese food as well as a wide variety of lighter foods.
