Albariño, Attis 'Xion'

Spain produces some of the most iconic wines in the world, and at a fraction of the cost of some of its neighbors. This week we are featuring indigenous varietals, including an iconic Albariño alongside relatively unknown Trepat and its more famous counterpart, Garnacha.

Albariño wines are celebrated for their bright acidity, vibrant aromatics, and refreshing character. They typically feature flavors of lemon/lime citrus, green apple, peach, and sometimes a hint of salinity or minerality, reflecting their coastal origins.

The Xion is an intense yellow color with a green rim. Clean and brilliant palate with a bouquet of intense fresh white fruit on the nose and hints of citric fruit coming through. It is hand harvested and sorted, completely destemmed. Aged on lees in stainless steel tank for 4 months with ‘batonnage’, but no malolactic fermentation.
