For my money, this is the best of the current crop of own-label supermarket versions of the UK’s favourite Spanish white grape variety, Albariño. It’s on the fresher, brisker end of the scale, with a real sense of Galician Atlantic breeziness, while the white peach and pear is juicy, the subtle floral notes attractive, and the racy citrus and subtle saltiness are made for shellfish.
