Sanctuary Vineyards 'Pearl' - Albarino - North Carolina

The 2021 Albarino from Sanctuary Vineyards in North Carolina's coastal Currituck County is a gem. Thanks to the rich, sandy soils and seaside climate, this wine has its own unique complexity. The straw - hued Spanish white grape yields enticing notes of tropical fruit, lemon zest, and apricot. It's an ideal match for nearly all seafood and light, creamy cheeses.

To enjoy this 2021 Albarino wine, simply chill it in the refrigerator for about an hour before serving. When you're ready, pour it into a white wine glass. Take a moment to smell the tropical fruit, lemon zest, and apricot scents. Then take a sip and savor the unique flavor. It goes great with seafood like shrimp, fish, or crab, and also pairs well with light, creamy cheeses. Keep the unopened bottle in a cool, dark place. Once opened, seal it tightly and store it in the fridge. Try to finish it within 2 - 3 days to enjoy the best taste.
