Bouza Viñedos & Bodega, Albariño 2024, Uruguay

Tasting Note: This spritely white wine has a zesty, earthy quality and flattering acidity.

Pale-lemon in color, the wine has a nose of chalk-dusted lemon, freshly-sliced green apple, green pear and baby’s breath.

The palate is tart and lively with wet-stone and crushed shell rallying towards the clean finish.

Pair with oysters, seafood, and fried chicken sandwiches.
