Wildseed Farms & WineryEspumosaA delightful fusion of Albariño and Viognier, this sweet white blend melds Albariño’s bright citrus and stone‑fruit brightness with Viognier’s heady floral perfume and creamy texture—resulting in a lush, fragrant sip that’s refreshing yet indulgent.
This elegant blend harmonizes the best elements of two captivating white varieties:
Albariño brings lively high acidity and fresh coastal minerality—think vibrant grapefruit, lemon zest, peach, apricot, and a gentle saline hint

. It adds body, depth, and a touch of refreshment from floral top notes.
Together, the blend balances sweetness with structure: the extra residual sugar rounds off Albariño’s acidity, while Viognier softens and perfumes the profile. Expect aromas of blossom, honeyed stone fruit, and a whisper of vanilla or spice—especially if oak or lees aging is used.
On the palate, flavors of ripe apricot, peach, citrus marmalade, and honey unfold, supported by a creamy mid‑palate and a crisp, cleansing finish. Ideal served chilled with fruit‑based desserts, crème brûlée, spiced nuts, fresh soft cheeses, poached pears, or light fruit tarts.
