Albariño (or Alvarinho in Portuguese) is a white wine grape grown in Galicia (Spain), and Monção and Melgaço in North-West Portugal.
It is noted for its distinctive botanical aroma with a citrous undertone, very similar to that of Viognier, Gewurztraminer, and Petit Manseng, suggesting apricot and peach. The wine produced is unusually light, and generally high in acidity.
