Vina Zaco Albarino 2015

Pale yellow with lemon-yellow hues. Intense nose with elegant aromas of white flowers, grapefruit, apples, and spices. Enveloping and fresh in the mouth with good balance and a mineral touch, typical of Val du Salnes. Fresh citrus notes on the finish. A versatile partner with food, we recommend drinking Vina Zaco with fish, shellfish, appetizers, rice dishes and pasta. It also has enough structure to accompany white meats and sausages.Viña Zaco is the rebellious new Rioja from Bodegas Bilbainas—a Rioja with a contemporary twist. Zaco takes its name from one of the oldest vineyards in Bodegas Bilbainas in the Rioja Alta. But that's where Zaco's links with the past begin and end. With its abundance of fresh red berries, notes of liquorice and faint undertones of spice, Zaco is the ultimate modern expression of Rioja.

Just above the Portuguese border lies Rias Baixas, Spain's prominent white wine region. Situated in Galacia, the region is wet and rainy with some large temperature changes due to its proximity to the coast. The main grape of note here is Albarino, the white variety known for creating fragrant and fruity wines perfect for seafood. The bottles are easily recognized as they all print “Albarino” on their label.
