Albarino

2010 Applegate Valley Albarino

The Schmidt Family Vineyards Albarino from the 2010 vintage is a delightful expression hailing from the picturesque Applegate Valley. This white wine showcases a refreshing profile, characterized by its bright acidity and a light to medium body that makes it exceptionally versatile. Elegantly balanced, the Albarino offers a prominent fruit intensity, filled with zesty citrus notes and hints of stone fruit. Its delightful fruit-forward character is complemented by a dry finish, making it an ideal pairing for seafood dishes or a light summer salad. This handcrafted wine exemplifies the unique terroir of the region, making each sip a memorable experience.

Region:

Oregon

With its rugged landscape and cool Pacific climate, Oregon is one of the world's great modern Pinot Noir regions. The Willamette Valley produces an impressive array of styles across its six AVAs, from fragrantly fruity to lush and complex. This is thanks to a range of terroirs that are eerily similar to Burgundy's in France (Oregon even lies on the same latitude). In fact, major Burgundy producers have set up in Oregon to make wine, including Domaine Drouhin and Louis Jadot. And it is not just Pinot Noir found in Oregon. Other benchmark grapes include Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Riesling; Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah thrive in the southern AVAs.
