I was invited to a flamenco performance in Salamanca my first summer in Spain. Being only 19, the power and raw sexuality of this art form was like nothing I had ever seen…Flamenco is a dance of seduction originated by “los gitanos” (the gypsies of Andalusia) and it blends dance, rhythmic guitar, hand clapping, and song. We drank Albariño that warm summer night and I’ll never forget it. It’s a varietal that originated in Galicia with a beautiful nose and a subtle peach and melon character. Salud!
This wine has personality for days with notes of apricot and peach, perfectly balanced acidity.
