Spain's Albariño Grape
Filed in archive Spanish Wines by tammy on May 3, 2007

Spain's Albariño grape does most of what the Riesling
seems to do, especially when it involves the 2004 entry from that country's Martin Codax vintners. The Albariño grows better in warmer areas of Western Europe, and its Codax brand yields the same Riesling effects-it's dry and fruity and flowery, it loves seafood and summer dishes and it even talks back amid the aftertaste's staying power. There's also everything to be said for its value. The Codax entry goes for $15.99 where good wines are sold, whereas the better Rieslings have been known to fetch upwards of something close to $41 billion per bottle.Permalink: Spain's Albariño Grape
