An English rarity that’s not to be missed, Balfour’s first ever Albariño release is a remarkable expression of the grape’s English potential. You’ll find a textbook zesty, citrus quality tempered by a slight saline minerality.
Described by noted wine writer, Henry Jefferies, as one of England’s “most important” wines, this new take on the Galician grape variety is not to be missed.

2. Our first-ever release, this is a unique expression of the grape – and one of the only examples you’ll find in England. Taste a little bit of history.
3. Superb for summer; this is the perfect wine for the warmer months.
Winemaker’s Food Pairing: Fresh, fragrant and superb with seafood from our own shores – as a classic pairing. Or for those feeling a little more adventurous, this wine will pair will with the freshness of ceviche, and or the saltiness of feta. Alternatively, enjoy enjoy as an invigorating aperitif on a warm summer’s evening.
