Licia Albarino 750ml 2183705*-od
Licia is a shortening of Galicia, the autonomia in northwest Spain known for its Celtic influence and overall greenness due to the maritime climate. This refreshing, flavorful white is made from 100% Albarino, sourced from the subzones of Condado de Tea and O Rosal in DO Rias Baixas. Situated along the border with Portugal, vineyards in these subzones benefit from the drier climate and warmer growing season.

| Producer |
| Jose Limeres, a native of the Galician town of Pontevedra and owner of several successful restaurants in Madrid, entered the wine business in 1985 when he was searching for a reliable supplier of quality wines for his restaurants. He bought his first property in O Rosal and planted native varieties that flourished in the area?s unique climate and soil. The resulting wines proved a hit, particularly his Albarino, which strikes just the right balance of sugar and acidity. |
