Barrels with Acacia heads are said to bring elegant white peach and nectarine fruit nuances to the aromatics, and add additional structure/richness in the mid palate all without those pesky toasty or vanilla influences from Quercus (Oak) species. This unashamedly grapefruity Central Coast Albariño offering has those overtones making it amazingly seafood and salad friendly.
