Description
Lusco 2016 has a straw yellow colour, clean and bright. This vintage is characterised by a very intense nose, dominated by hints of fresh fruit, apple and citrus notes. It stands out for its finesse and intensity. On the palate, it is a very rounded wine with just the right amount of acidity, but at the same time fresh and intense, all of which is provided by the climate of our Condado do Tea sub-zone. Harmonious, elegant, it invites you to keep drinking. As is characteristic, Lusco’s work on the lees gives it roundness, fat and maturity.

Varietal
Albarino
The pale skinned grapes of the Albarino varietal have been grown in and around Spain and Portugal for almost a thousand years, where they are highly enjoyed and prized by the locals for their distinctive aroma, and sharp, tart acidity levels. Over the past century, their influence has spread to the New World, and many vineyards keen to emulate the white wines of Spain have had considerable success with this varietal. The light bodied wines which are produced from the Albarino grapes have wonderfully aromatic properties, and carry ripe flavors of soft summer fruits, apricot and peach, with a mild and pleasantly bitter after taste brought on by their thick skins. Because of their acidic nature, they are a fantastic match for many Spanish foods, and are best served chilled on a hot day.
