International Albariño Day 2024
August 1, 2024 All day
Celebrate International Albariño Day
with Bingham Family Vineyards 2023 Albariño
International Albariño Day is a special day celebrated to honor a type of white wine called Albariño. This wine grape originally comes from a place called Galicia in Spain, where the weather is cool and the land is near the ocean. These conditions make the Albariño grapes grow really well there.
Texas Albariño
In the Texas High Plains AVA (American Viticultural Area), Albariño grapes have found a new home. This area in Texas is known for its high elevation, sunny days, and cool nights, which create a good environment for growing grapes. The Texas High Plains AVA has well-drained soils, which help the Albariño vines produce high-quality grapes. Winemakers in Texas are excited about growing Albariño because it brings a unique taste to their wines and shows that Texas can produce excellent wines, too. As more people discover Albariño from Texas, it adds to the excitement and diversity of wines available in the United States.

Wine Pros has a nice post about Albariño wine for those that want to research more. Read more here.
Celebrating the Day
People celebrate this day by tasting Albariño wine and learning about its flavors. It’s known for tasting fresh and fruity, like peaches or apricots. Some people also say it has a hint of something called “minerality,” which means it tastes a bit like rocks or stones – not in a bad way, though.
On International Albariño Day, wine lovers around the world share their love for this special wine by enjoying it with meals like seafood, salads, or just as a refreshing drink on a hot day. It’s a time to appreciate the unique flavors and the place where the grapes are grown. Whether you’re a wine expert or just curious, it’s a fun day to try something new and learn a bit more about wines from different parts of the world.
