The first Sunday in Advent called for something a little celebratory in the wine department: enter this lovely little Spanish Albariño. The Xión, 2016 Albariño (Rías Baixas DO) was just the thing for a crisp and chilly December day. An intensely massive nose of tutti frutti-peachiness led into a superbly balanced, medium weight wine redolent with more stone fruit and tropical yumminess. A lovely tipple. Besides, who, in their right mind, could resist a label that looks like it is adorned with Christmas deccies and stylised snowflakes? Not me.

Tutti frutti is a rather rare descriptor, but apropos.
Keeping it festive.
NHW: Tutti frutti was a popular ice cream flavour when I was little, don't know if it still is. Never particularly liked it, but very distinctive smell nonetheless.
Thud: 'Tis the season.
