Quedarse 2017 Airén Spain

Airén is one of the most planted, but least talked about Spanish grapes. We think that’s an absolute shame. This beautiful white grape makes wines that have bright acidity and restrained citrus fruit flavors. With low alcohol, this subtly floral, citrus-dominated wine is beautifully balanced and fabulous for the summer. The crisp minerality adds a vibrancy to the texture of the wine. If you are going to pair it with food we think that fresh fruits and vegetables with seafood is the way to go. Try it with olives as an appetizer before enjoying Paella. Judges love it too! It took home a Silver medal at the 2018 Sommelier Challenge and the 2018 Harvest Challenge.
