Shop review: Pleasant and mellow, this young white wine will be the perfect accompaniment to all kinds of seafood, salads, mild cheeses, as an aperitif or just by itself. The alcohol content of Famega is 9.5% whihc makes it the ideal natural low calorie white wine. The grapes used in making Famega are 100% Alvarinho (same as the Albarino grape over the border in northwest Spain).
My review: On the nose, the wine smelled of light soap with sweet notes, like honeysuckle. On the palate, the wine is very clean and sharp. Possibly a light pear taste to it as well.
I did not have food with this tasting.
