Albariño (also spelt Alvarinho) is Spain & Portugal's most famous white wine grape and a real hidden gem for those not already in the know. It's absolutely packed full of character, with styles ranging from crisp & aromatic, to fruity & floral. With a wonderful salinity running along its backbone, Albariño was born to go with seafood.
