Villa Blue Albariño 2023
Flavor Profile
Albariño is one of the world’s most fashionable white wines, and you’re in for a real treat with this rare discovery from South Africa. Here are three reasons why you should add Villa Blue Albariño to your cart now:
Award-Winning Estate
Villa Blue was crafted at Spier Estate. This historic property dates back to 1692, when Arnoud Jansz, a member of the Dutch East India Company, planted its first vines. Today, Spier Estate is one of the country’s most acclaimed—with 1,839 awards and counting—including two ‘South African Wine Producer of the Year’ trophies plus an ‘Ethical Company of the Year’ title from The Drinks Business’ Green Awards.
Renowned Region
Spier Estate lies in the Stellenbosch region, which is often called South Africa’s answer to the Napa Valley. As Master of Wine Tim Atkin writes, “Stellenbosch consistently produces the greatest number of the Cape’s finest wines.” So, it should come as no surprise that the quality of this Albariño is top notch.
Downright Delicious
The previous vintage of Villa Blue earned 91 points from the Decanter World Wine Awards. Judges gave it this tasting note: “White peach and peach blossom with a hint of nectarine and salinity on the nose. Crisp, fresh and bright.” After tasting this new release, we’re certain it won’t be long before it earns critical acclaim, too. It’s a lovely white wine to sip on its own, but it also pairs well with everything from lobster rolls to lemon-drizzled chicken.
