I have long admired the grape varietal since I was first introduced to it when the Wine Pairing Weekend crew focused on wines from Uruguay.

Ahead of the Wine Pairing Weekend's focus on wines from Uruguay in February, I received four bottles of wine from Elixir Wine Group * out of Bend, Oregon. I received two bottles of Albariño and two bottles of Tannat from  Bodega Bouza . While this is not my official pairing for #WinePW this month, I wanted to share this because it was delicious! Bouza 2017 Albariño The Notes From my reading, this Albariño began as an experiment for Bodega Bouza. And it has ended up being one of the more popular bottlings! The Albariño  cuttings planted in the Melilla and Las Violetas vineyards originated in Rias Biaxas, Spain - from the rural family-owned plots of Bouza family relatives.
