Which wine to pair with your next adventure: Pt II

Oak Farm Vineyards Albari?o 2022 (California, USA) - £25.49

I’m not sure if I think this bottle looks sexy or not, but the wine inside the bottle is definitely attractive.

Albarino is a white grape variety, more commonly found in Galicia, Spain. Oak Farm, based in southern California, specialise in making tasty wines from uncommon varieties. This wine is packed with tropical fruit flavours, matched with zesty acidity, making it very moreish. Fire up the BBQ and throw on some big, sweet prawns – this would be a match made in the stars.

Alternatively, light the log burner, grab an ice bucket and enjoy this alongside some picky bits and a good book.
