2008 Crittenden Los Hermanos Albarino

Joining the new Spanish wave peaking in Australia, Crittenden Estate have released an Albarino under the Los Hermanos label. Taking the name from the Spanish word for siblings, Zoe and Rollo Crittenden are the team behind this wine and I'm tipping there will be a few happy drinkers out there getting behind it too. This wine is taut and pure with super fine fruit expression and 'gritty' acidity, as the winemaker puts it. Albarino's are famous for their acidity and this wine certainly has it. Drinking this wine with a plate of simple patatas bravas, I noted green pear and white flowers, lemon citrus, even some greenish pineapple flavours, coupled with fine minerality and spice. Totally refreshing and delightful this wine really impressed.
