| Likeness | It drinks as a fresh white of pear and green apple. The roundness is gentle. The close is tart peel, not juice. | Albariño in the aroma, which is the hard part: lychee, passionfruit, and a citrus lift. The palate is zesty and light, and the acid does the structural work. The grape carries through a short citric close. Specific, and slender. |
