General Information
Marimar Albariño 2020 is a wine that, after several unsuccessful experimental plantations, found its home in the Don Miguel vineyard, a terroir named in honor of the patriarch of the Torres family and located in California's Russian River Valley, specifically in its coldest and foggiest area, Green Valley.
Marimar Torres, a member of the renowned Catalan winemaking family, chose to cultivate Albariño in this location to produce a white wine of exceptional quality, akin to those crafted in Rías Baixas. Marimar Albariño 2020 is an elevated, aromatic, lively wine with vibrant acidity, perfect for pairing with tapas, raw seafood or grilled dishes (oysters, clams), smoked salmon, or sushi. The New World's Albariño benchmark.
Tasting notes
Beautiful straw yellow color.
Nose marked by intense classic aromas of the varietal, ranging from white flowers and citrus (lime) to white and tropical fruit. Elegant mineral touches reminiscent of wet stones.
On the palate, it is lively, round, and vibrant. With vibrant acidity and a saline, elegant, and refreshing finish.
