The 2024 Tambora Albariño is a fresh, expressive white wine that reflects the winery’s commitment to quality and Galician tradition, with a modern, fruit-driven style that’s perfect for seafood lovers.. TASTING NOTES. This vibrant Albariño opens with tropical aromas of pineapple, mango, and a burst of citrus zest. On the palate, it’s clean, crisp, and refreshing, offering flavours of green apple, lemon, and subtle minerality. The lively acidity leads to a long, mouth-watering finish — a benchmark example of Galician white wine.. FOOD PAIRING. A natural match for seafood, particularly pan-seared scallops, garlic prawns, or a classic seafood paella. Also delicious with grilled white fish and herb-dressed salads.. FRIARWOOD SAYS. The musical bars on the label are taken from the Hymn of Galicia, symbolising the cultural pride and passion poured into every bottle of this elegant, seafood-friendly Spanish white wine.
