Gold Medal – New World Wine Awards 2025
The Albariño grape, originating from the coastal region of Biaxias on the North West coast of Spain is fast becoming a trendy and popular variety around the world, and it seems to be finding a home here in New Zealand. This is a fantastic release from Mount Riley and as always with their wines, offers terrific value.
Winery notes (2025 Vintage)
"Our 2025 Albariño is made from grapes grown on Mount Riley’s St Andrew Vineyard south of Blenheim township. Aromas of lemon, lime and stonefuit. The palate is medium bodied with a brisk, firm freshness in the mouth. Dry with ripe fruit flavours firm acidity, and a salty saline finish.
Albariño can be served as an aperitif or matched with food. Known as Spain's ‘seafood wine’, Albariño is perfect with shellfish and seafood, salads and pasta. Best pairings include oysters, crab, prawns, mussels, white fish, fish cakes, seafood pasta and risotto, sushi and sashimi, chicken, and creamy cheeses."
91/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, June 2025 (2025 Vintage)
"It's brightly fruited and delicately aromatic, showing crunchy apple, apricot, lemon peel, and jasmine notes, followed by a lively palate that's juicy and refreshing. Beautifully supported by fine acidity, making it vibrant and flavoursome. At its best: now to 2028."
