Tonight is an Albariño night!

In honor of Abacela's facebook post:

The 2009 white and rosé wines are in the bottle... next up is the 2008 Dolcetto and Garnacha!


Here is a video with the Tasting Room Manager, Linda, talking about Abacela's signature white wine, Albariño. Abacela is the only winery in Oregon growing this white Spanish varietal. Wines made from Albariño are very aromatic, often having scents of almonds, apples, peaches, citrus, grass or minerality. It is a great pairing for seafood according to Jancis Robinson because of its "razor-sharp acidity." Albariño should be enjoyed in its youth due to tartness that does not age well. The 2008 Abacela Albariño ($20), although sold out in the Tasting Room, can still be found in bottle shops to hold us over until the 2009 is released. We found three bottles at the Press Wine Bar in Dundee, Oregon. Looks like tonight will be an Albariño night!
