This Orbis Wines Albariño is made for cooling the heels after a sweltering day.
White-fleshed stonefruit and pears spread generously across the palate with a faint dash of sea spray adding a fragrant coastal flicker. Vibrant acidity keeps everything bright and energetic, while a grapefruit and lemony tang bring a refreshing citrus snap. Then comes the white pepper spice, delicate at first before casually striding across the palate and adding another layer of interest. There is a terrific flow here, with fruit, spice and acidity working in unison. Pour generously and find somewhere with a breeze as the last rays of daylight disappear.
