The Albariño grape, a noble white grape variety from the Spanish appellation Rías Baixas, located on the west coast of Galicia, produces dry wines often marked by a strong minerality, close relatives of the terpenic aromatic profile of Alsatian and Germanic wines. This minerality also gives it a resemblance to some un-oaked Chablis (chardonnay) and Sancerre (Sauvignon blanc).
