Miguel, I also saw this excellent post in the wsg wine chat. As I said, there, the hot dry, desert climate of eastern Washington State, according to the growers and winemakers there drive the wine naturally toward more tropical notes. Galicia's more moderate coastal climate lends the grapes to a different wine. Anyway I would also like to geek out about this more
I'm talking about what was thought in the past and what people were saying to try to link it to the German heritage. Read broader. As Galician I'm very much aware of our diminutives. Abrazo

One clarification: the word Albariño derives from the Galician word "albar" for "white" with the diminutive "-iño", not "white of the Rhine"
