2008 Antonio Esteves Ferreira Alvarinho Soalheiro - Portugal, Minho, Vinho Verde (6/26/2009)
This is my 3rd bottle and I think this is just a terrific albarino. Out of the fridge it was a bit too cold and was more enjoyable after it warmed a bit. Nose was full of stone and lemon and some apple. Also had some minerality to it. Like quartz if it had a smell. Similar notes on the palate. It had a bit more roundness than some of the other albarinos I’ve had but a nice acidic streak kept it refreshing. $20.

This is a bit more than I’m used to spending on albarinos, but it was really worth it I think. Also totally different than all the vinho verdes I’ve had. I’m a fan.
