TASTING NOTES:
91 Points - "Light gold. Potent citrus and green apple scents are complicated by quinine, green tea and wet stone. Brisk lime and orchard fruit flavors are sharply focused and pure, with slow-building lichee and melon components adding depth. Blends richness and vivacity deftly, finishing with good breadth as well as cut. This will be great with Thai coconut curries."

ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
In 1984 a farm named "Morgadio" in the Rias Baixas sub-district of Condado do Tea near the aldea of Albeos was consolidated from multiple existing owners, and planting began. The vineyard area was gradually expanded to its current 50 acres. Within Ri­as Baixas there are three subdistricts: El Rosal and Val do Salnas on Galicia's rainy Atlantic coast, a situation remarkably reminiscent of Germany's Rheingau. Condado's benign climate, southern exposure and soil of brilliantly-reflective granite sand serve to maximize the Albariño's concentration.

BODEGA: As important as the great Albariño grape to the production of world-class white wine, is the winemaking equipment. Just in time for the 1988 harvest, Morgadi­o finished a state- of-the-art gravity-flow facility at the bottom of the vineyard amphitheater which includes pneumatic presses and isothermic stainless steel tanks.
