Burgans Albarino

Product Code: 25149

Fresher than the Prince of Bel-Air, fruitier than the Man from Del Monte and more invigorating than an ice-cold plunge pool, Burgans Albarino is the drink of choice for those lazy summer days in the sun.

Tasting Notes : Joyously aromatic on the nose with apple, peach and apricot aromas. Medium bodied and off dry on the palate with juicy fruit flavours, clean acidity and a long, mineral-dominated finish.

Producer : Bodegas Martin Codax

Method of Production : The Albarino grapes were hand-harvested into shallow picking boxes to avoid damaging the fruit. Fermentation took place in temperature controlled stainless-steel tanks using naturally occurring yeasts. 80% of the wine underwent a softening malolactic fermentation and a tiny touch of sweet reserve wine was added to the blend (to balance the high acidity) prior to bottling.

Burgans Albarino

My favourite! Have been drinking this for more than a year and haven't found a better Albarino in this price bracket. Deliciously perfumed but not at all overwhelming. A wonderful Summer wine.

How can this not be the best white, in the Northern Hemisphere

Some whites knock your socks of literally. Others sink without trace or remarkability. Burgens albarino sits in the first camp. Truly original and fully perfumed, this white is happy wine drinking at worst and sublime sunshine in a glass at best. Enjoy all the time as there is never an instance where you won't!

Whites are often sooo disappointing but this recommendation from a friend satisfied everyone. Fruity and succulent. I plan on buying more.

The perfect aperitif to warm the hearts, and stimulate the taste buds of good friends before engaging further in the delights of a Spanish evening. Viva Albarino, Fresh Fine and Fruity !!!

This is absolutely fantastic! I can't say much more than that. First tried this with a greek salad, the two went well together.

This is cracking. Show me a white that's this interesting and delicious for the same money and I'll be even happier. Haven't yet found one person who didn't love it.

Clean flower and citrus aroma. Good clean fruit in the mouth with medium body and good acid structure. A very good food wine and aperitif for people who like acidity.

Wine Review

A strange banana and peach aroma leads to a mesmirising taste sensation not found in any other spanish wine.
