2013 Rey del Mund Rias Baixas Albarino


We see lots of imports into Australia of Spanish wine. The 2013 Rey del Mund Rias Baixas Albarino is a startling gold in colour, the likes of which I haven't seen since viewing an old Chardi. You'd want that colour in a wedding ring, if you wanted a wedding ring at all. It has a dreamy, sweet pineapple perfume with an edge of looking-glass excitement, some sherbet in there too, and overall smelling like the sound of gold taffeta or silk swishing. On the palate it's crisp and fresh. You might have fish and chips happily with it. The label has black and gold baroque floral flourishes, but with a wild-west feel to the font style.
