Bourboulenc (pronounced boor-boo-LAHNK), also known as Aprokondoura, is a white wine variety and comes from Greece, but is now primarily planted in Southern France in the Rhone region. This categorizes Bourboulenc as an ancient wine variety. It is one of only five white wine grapes allowed for use in Chateaneuf du Pape, along with Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Rousanne, and Picardan. It is also used in Provence, Languedoc, La Clape, and Minervois. It displays strong citrus notes, a hint of smoke, some floral attributes, and high acidity. In blends, it will give body and spicy tones. Bourboulenc has a tendency to ripen late, but the acidity retains freshness in the wine. However, it is best consumed young. Bourboulenc grape bunches are tight with large berries and sometimes susceptible to rot. It does well in warmer, sun filled climates with stony plateaus, much like the Mediterranean basin.

Fefinanes Albarino de Albarino is 100 percent Albarino
Fresh fruit aromas of apricot and peach slices with notes of lemon and green apple. Pretty notes of honey and wet nutmeg, and the mouth is round, clean, and pleasant with baked apple, honey, and lemon.
This is a classic Albariño which is good young, but actually improves over two to three years and remains quite drinkable for up to five years. Owner Juan Gil comments that the wine really starts to come into its own in June/July, and he actually prefers it 18 or more months after it's made. A Fefiñanes "vertical" of three or four vintages can provide some most interesting surprises.
