Exact registry match — this is a specific TTB COLA record. We found a strong match for this wine.
What to Expect
MAIOR DE MENDOZA is crafted from Albarino grapes, a white variety known for its high acidity and citrusy yet stone fruit notes. Originating in Spain's Galicia region and Portugal (with Alvarinho being the primary grape), this wine has gained significant recognition in the U.S., particularly as California and Pacific Northwest varietal wines have grown in popularity. Expect a crisp, refreshing profile with hints of lemon zest and subtle almond undertones.
