Vina Nora Albarino 2005

Nora has been one of my favorite non-Chardonnay white wines since I discovered it a few years ago.  The quality is still up there, although the price is a bit higher.

From Rias Baixas, Galicia, Spain, and made from the Albariño grape, Nora is a crisp tank-fermented white.

Tasting Notes: Color: Pale straw.  Aromas: Peach, citrus, and hints of bitter orange and ginger.  The mouthfeel is medium-bodied, round, juicy then dry.  The Georgia peach and tart citrus flavors finish like a fresh fruit cobbler, but not at all sweet.

Closure: Real cork.  Excellent value ($15).  Alcohol: 13%.  Imported by Jorge Ordonez.

Yeah I agree with this. Nora consistenly produces great bargain whites. I really love Spanish and Italian and Austrain whites for summer values. One of my favorites is an Italian--Inama "Vin Soave" Soave Classico 04'.
Its a superb value at thirteen bucks a pop.
