Paco & Lola is a modern winery in the Rias Baixas region and recognized for their fun polka dot labels. They use state of the art technology to keep their wines focused, fresh and expressive. The grapes for this wine come from their best vineyards in the Salnés subregion which is considered the cradle of Albariño. Albariño is Spain’s most popular white wine and is known for being amazingly versatile and able to pair with a wide variety of foods.
It’s always exciting to find a lip smacking, delicious white wine that not only grabs your attention on the palate but also grabs your attention with its beautiful packaging! Paco & Lola’s Albariño has all the great qualities of classic Albariño with intense citrus flower aromatics--white flowers, acacia and orange blossom--and zesty flavors of citrus--lime and grapefruit--and stone fruits. Straw yellow with greenish, bright and clear tones with an intense aroma of lychees. It’s clean, textured and refreshing. he classic pairing is seafood, but Albariño easily pairs well with white meats and even spicy foods.
Fresh, citric, intense and fruity mouth.

A wine that consistently pleases year after year, this 2021 iteration has lovely upfront lemon blossom, lemon rind, and pure green apple fruit. There's lots of intensity here, so lots to like. There are 442 families involved in the Paco & Lola co-operative project in Rias Baixas, and all grapes are hand harvested. Fermented in stainless steel and aged on fine lees for at least three months, this manages to retain delicate floral characters as well as cooked lemons and stone fruit. It's medium-bodied, with decent acidity and length. Drinking Window: 2022-2024.

A fresh, juicy and light-bodied white, with a zesty thread of milled pepper and blood orange peel winding through the melon and kiwi fruit flavors. Drink now. 10,000 cases imported.
