	Albariño - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Albariño ("ahl-bar-EEN-yoh" – Galician) or Alvarinho ("ahl-vah-REE-nyoh" – Portuguese) is a variety of white wine grape grown in Galicia (northwest Spain) and northern Portugal, where it is used to make varietal white wines.
		In Portugal it is known as Alvarinho, and sometimes as Cainho Branco.
		It should not be confused with the Alvarinho Liláz grape of Madeira.

	Alfama - Fine Portuguese Cuisine
		The one exception is the wines are made from 100% Alvarinho, the noble grape varietal in the region.
		This clear, medium straw-colored Alvarinho is most unusual due to its rather herbal, grassy and complex nose.
		Luscious is the best word to describe this Alvarinho - full bodied, with a complex and intense nose of exotic and tropical fruits (lichee, green apples and honeysuckle) which are also reflected on the palate, leading a long, delicious finish.

		Their steadfast devotion to this frustrating, yet superior varietal, is paying off; alvarinho has a small but growing following here in the U.S. It is believed that alvarinho was brought to the Iberian Peninsula by monks on a religious pilgrimage from France in the twelfth century.
		Alvarinho is a wonderful example of the extraordinary and exotic wines that wait for us if we just choose to look for them.
		Alvarinho (ahl-vah-ree-nho) is a small berried, low yielding grape with a thick skin that is difficult to vinify.

	Wine of the Week, 4/25/05: 2002 Dorado Portugal Vinho Verde / Alvarinho Superior $20.99
		White wine lovers the world over have recently discovered that Spanish wines based on the Albariño grape are a magical combination with all manner of seafood (steamed, grilled or flened fish, oysters, clams and shellfish).
		To produce Dorado's 2002 Alvarinho Superior, the winemaking methods employed by Dorado and Abal are similar to those utilized by the best white Burgundy growers from the Mâconnais or Chablis regions rather than the Cote d’Or, since no oak is used for aging.
		Dorado was granted a new appellation "Alvarinho Superior" though the official Region is Vinho Verde.

		Alvarinho is also known as Albarino in Spain.
		In Spain it produces the popular white wine of the Rias Baixas region, where the style is pungent and citrusy with a lively yet pillowy acidity.
		As for ageing potential of Alvarinho, the key here is to drink it young and fresh.

	Alvarinho Soalheiro 2001/2003 from António Estêves Ferreira : Magellan Wine, Wines of Discovery! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		This is a vinho verde, but don’t make the mistake of tarring it with same brush as the spritzy, off-dry and disappointing rubbish that is often associated with the term.
		Made from Alvarinho grapes in a region close to the sea it is no coincidence that this excellent, fresh white reflects the local cuisine so well.
		With its peachy edge, an ethereal essence of jasmine (characteristic of Alvarinho, but often lacking in wines made from it) and vibrant steely acidity it is just about the perfect partner for seafood and fish, so get some langoustines under the grill and enjoy pure wine and food heaven.

	AH, ALBARINO!
		Albarino, along with the seafood of Galicia, was one reason I went to Spain.The same grape is grown in northern Portugal as Alvarinho.
		My experience with Albarino and Alvarinho is more limited than I would like, but I would venture to say that the difference between the Spanish and Portuguese products is somewhat like the difference between Riesling as made in Germany and Alsace.
		They tasted remarkably alike, though the Alvarinho was very slightly more perfumed and the Albarino had a touch more weight.

		There are eight sub-regions, and one of the most prized wines is from the Moncao, renowned for its Alvarinho, which seems to be higher in alcohol and more fruity than other Vinhos Verdes.
		The soil, climate, and grape varieties contribute to the wines' acidity, and it would appear that one of the winemakers' objectives is to encourage a secondary malolactic fermentation in the bottle, which gives these wines their bite and slight fizz.
		Pale yellow in color, this Alvarinho has a light peach nose and is fuller bodied.

	SOIL AND CLIMATIC INFLUENCE ON THE FREE AND GLYCOSIDICALLY BOUND VOLATILES OF GRAPES FROM TWO WHITE VARIETIES FROM ...
		The Vinhos Verdes Region is situated in the northwest of Portugal.
		We found out that the global characteristics of the grapes from the two varieties depend on the harvest factor (climate) rather than on the sub-region where the vine is planted.
		The characteristics of the soil have an even lesser influence on the variableness of the samples, although the Alvarinho variety picked in the Lima sub-region seems to have different characteristics.

	Tasters Guild New York : Wine & Spirit Tasting and Education, NYC
		Unknown outside of the Iberian Peninsula ten years ago, today Spanish Albarinos and Portugese Alvarinhos (the same grape-two countries, two languages) are stylish and popular.
		These wines are high in acidity, crisp, citrusy and chalky and show the flavors of peaches, lime, almonds, apples, melons, apricots and vanilla.
		The aroma of the sea is discernable in the wine's briny scent and finish.

	Quinta do Feital 2002 "Dorado" Moncão Vinho Verde Alvarinho - Wine Tasting Note
		A modern, upscale take on Portuguese Vinho Verde made by a Spanish producer who crossed the river from Rias Baixas in Galicia to make wine on both sides of the Spanish-Portuguese border, it's Vinho Verde in the new style, hearty and full-bodied, aged on its yeast sediment (lees) to add richness and complexity of flavor.
		FOOD MATCH: Portuguese or Spanish, Alvarinho or Albariño, either way these aromatic whites are made for seafood and fish.
		This wine's body and structure brought it up to a more robust fish dinner, fresh cod cut in bite-size chunks, quickly sauteed in a skillet of home fries and onions scented with homeopathic dashes of cumin and Asian "five spice."
