Tasting Notes: 2023 Aviatrix Albariño (tasted 5/22/24 by HPB, CB, RB)

The Aviatrix Albariño is pale white gold in color. Aromas of fresh pineapple as well as pineapple candy rise from the glass, along with tropical notes of starfruit, melon, and even a bit of cucumber. Subtle herb notes of thyme and tarragon, a floral hint of rose petal, minerality, and the lightest whisper of vanilla add intrigue to this deliciously mouth-watering wine. Flavors are elegant and bright with a graceful finish. The aroma and flavor is very temperature-dependent – much more expressive when not super cold, so we recommend serving it just lightly chilled or at cellar temp.
