Tasting Notes

Medium plus bodied with crisp acidity, the Leirana has a wonderful combination of energy and texture, with a complex of meyer lemon, yellow plum, white peach, and melon, along with more nuanced white flowers and spice punctuated by an attractive vein of salty minerality that lingers in the finish.

GRAPE VARIETAL(S)

Albariño

100% Al-ba-REE-nyo

Albariño is a high-quality white grape varietal found on the border of Portugal and Spain where it particularly flourishes in Galicia. Alabariño combines fruit, mineral aromas and flavors, often with saline notes, and a floral component. The grape’s fresh acidity balances the wine’s medium-full body and also makes it versatile with many different foods.
