On the palate, this Albarino is crisp and lively, boasting flavours of ripe citrus, succulent stone fruits, and a touch of salinity from the coastal vineyards.

Finish:
The finish is clean, moreish, and persistent, leaving behind a lingering trace of citrus zest and saline minerality that invites another sip.
Ideal for seafood, summer salads, or enjoyed as an invigorating aperitif, 'Ruta 49' Albarino promises a refreshing and flavourful tasting experience true to its coastal Spanish heritage.
