Virgen de la Asuncion, Ricardo Dumas, Albillo, 2020

Appellation: Ribera del Duero

The only white varietal approved recently by the appellation of Ribera del Duero.  Albillo is a grape with great personality, but is is also delicate and gentle.

Mellow aromas and flavors of citrus, honeydew and pineapple make this a fresh easy to drink wine.   The wine spends approx. 3-4 months on lees, which adds structure to the wine.  In mouth it will feel unctuous or creamy.  The wine also ages aprox. 4 months in barrel, which adds structure and some spices to the wine. 

Grapes come from old vines, which adds to the complexity and elegance of this wine.
