Revolution Albarino, by Vina Progreso
Regular price
£20.00
A belting crisp but textured white wine from an emerging South American region you may be less familiar with.
Made using the same Albarino grapes you typically find in Vinho Verde wines. But this one is from Uruguay’s budding wine scene.
The cool coastal climate is perfect for fresh, zingy wines full of citrus and minerality. And whilst this wine is easy drinking, its also hugely flavourful, and dare we say more sophisticated than its Portuguese associate.
As well as bright lemon and lime, there are further layers of stone fruits and sea salt that adds another dimension.
Why we chose it?
This vibrant and lively dry white wine showcases the impressive winemaking coming out of Uruguay.

The wine...
Albarino
This is a fresh, vibrant and easy drinking wine at first glance. But there's much more to this wine - intense aromatic fruit flavours come to light thanks to the grapes slow ripening, courtesy of it's coastal location. And there's structure here too. So whilst it works by itself on a summer evening, there's an extra dimension when enjoyed with a food - sushi, prawn curry or fish tacos work perfectly.
The producer...
Vina Progreso
Vina Progreso’s winemaker, Gabriel Pisano, describes their philosophy as experimental, with a modern approach - to create flavourful and fruity wines to be enjoyed. The key to their wines is quality fruit, grown in the perfect grape growing environment. The winemaking takes a back seat in some regards - just cool, stainless steel fermentation, and selected yeasts to bring out the best of the natural ingredients.
