Polka Dot Wine

Let’s continue our Spain journey to neighboring Rias Baixas - it has been so ridiculously hot and humid in the Northeast USA this week that a crisp, refreshing and fun white fit the bill. I decided to pull out a Paco & Lola Celebration 2020 Albariño.

Founded in 2005, Paco & Lola are all about fun ( look at their labels, they are the POLKA DOT WINES). Sustainable practices, a modern winery committed to a fresh way of making and experiencing wine.

Paco & Lola Celebration 2020

Limited Edition Pride Rainbow Bottle

Rias Baixas, Spain

100% Albariño

Fermentation in stainless steel at 16°C for 21 days, remaining on its fine lees until the stabilization and bottling.

Clear pale lemon with a green tinge.

Swirl and freshly cut citrus, sea salt, white blossom and and ripe tropical fruit are in harmony together.

Sip and you are met with a lip smacking acidity, followed by grapefruit, orange and lime, acacia, pineapple and finishes on a mineral sea salt note thanks to it’s proximity to the Atlantic. The acidity holds the clean, bright flavors together in a youthful, lively sort of way. Just so refreshing and moorish.

Perfect with a New England lobster roll, grilled lemon shrimp or freshly shucked little neck clams.
