92 points “Green apple peach and vanilla bean anchor a balanced and fruity white wine of moderate ripeness and acidity. Anise and wet stone play secondary roles adding complexity and length.” – Wine Enthusiast
As Wine & Spirits Magazine once said “Leave it to a Spaniard to get Albariño right in California.” The grape variety Albariño is famed for the spectacular wines it produces in the cool rainy climate of Galicia Spain. But can it really work in sunny California? The answer is a resounding ‘yes’ especially in the hands of one of Spain’s most famous winemaking families.
This wonderfully floral and zingy variety is thriving in the coolest and foggiest part of the Russian River Valley on the biodynamic Don Miguel Vineyard named in honour of the late great Miguel Torres. Lemon zest crunchy peach pear sorbet seaside pebbles and rising pizza dough; this juicy little number buzzes with energy screaming out to be served alongside sushi exotic curries vibrant Vietnamese food tapas and grilled seafood.
A little piece of Spain in Sonoma California. Born in Barcelona fluent in six languages and the daughter of the great Miguel Torres the pioneering Marimar Torres cracked the American market wide open for Spanish wines and her family’s business. Settling down in North America in 1975 she created the iconic Spanish brand’s Californian outpost Marimar Estate and built a Catalan-style farmhouse and winery. Not satisfied with simply making fabulous wines from estate-grown fruit her operation has recently become solar powered and certified sustainable and amidst all that Marimar found time to publish several cookbooks on the subject of Spanish cuisine.
