Pardina

Pardina is the local name given to the Albillo white wine varietal in southwestern Spain. The grape has mostly neutral flavors with a lightly perfumed aroma. It has a high glycerol index, which confers smoothness to the wines. The berries are of average size, round in shape and golden in color. The grape bunches are generally small and compact. It is an early ripening variety and is usually harvested in mid-August.
