Winery notes (2025 Vintage)
"This wine shows why our Southern Valleys vineyards are so special. Everything we’d hoped for and showing all the traditional Albariño elements, plus that extra fruit lift of New Zealand to keep it interesting. Vibrant acidity, white peach, winter cole pear, apricots and quince, with an orange zest undertone. It’s full and textural, yet refreshing and nicely balanced, with drying minerality to finish.
The grapes were machine harvested in the cool of the morning, cold settled and cool fermented in stainless steel tanks before blending and finishing for bottling in winter."
Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas, November 2025 (2025 Vintage)
"A lovely wine with a core of ripe white and yellow fleshed peach then a cool climate citrus seam and fine leesy complexity. Dry, crisp, saline and fruity, medium weight with a satin touch. Great balance and length with a decent acid outline and length. Best from day of purchase through 2028+."
