WTN: A new Albariño for me

Over the past couple of nights, we’ve been grooving on a new (to me) Rías Baixas Albariño from Torroxal. Tonight, with pan-seared Patagonian toothfish, the wine was splendid, with a texture that denotes greater dry extract than is the norm for the region, but still with the verve and salinity that I expect. In many ways, it reminded me of the relationship of Pepieres Clisson to a more typique Muscadet sur life. At $14 delivered I will be looking for more.

Did this Alabrino perchance come in an Alsace-style bottle (thinnish & elongated)?

Nope, Ian, it came in a Burgundian-shaped bottle, also a tad unusual for the region.
