The first new crop is the Albarino, a Spanish white variety. Though this grape is somewhat similar to a Riesling or a Moscato, it actually has more of a dry finish. It has some fruit on the palette and a fresh, floral taste. Though the grape typically produces a dry dinner wine, it could also be made semi-sweet to…
