"Mouth-wateringly irresistible. Summer in the bottle, toes in the water. A vibrant bouquet of lime and sea salt which is equally reflected on the palate and bound with crystalline acidity resulting in a beautifully savoury example of Albariño. Notes of oyster shell minerality and freshly cut fennel bulb are wrapped in a nostalgic, hazy summer embrace. There is lovely shape to this wine, it’s elegant and fulfilling. This Albariño oozes grace.
Nelson is Australasia’s largest fishing port and the region has a similarly moderate maritime climate. We decided to plant a trial block several years ago and have since planted more. Once it was considered a wine to be drunk early but the modern take on Albariño allows you to cellar it comfortably. To say this would be a match with the freshest seafood is an understatement – drink with freshly shucked oysters, garlic steamed mussels or kingfish sashimi."
Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, November 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"A delicious wine from start to finish with a light satin texture, flavours of white fleshed stone fruits and then citrus, a wine of transition on the palate beginning with white peach at the front and a mix of lemon and pear at the back. The texture is excellent with a fine chalky mouthfeel, some back palate tension and overall medium to light-weight mouthfeel. There’ s a light saline quality which is classic for the style. Best drinking from 2023 through 2027+."
94/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review, January 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"Fresh, tangy wine with mandarin/orange/citrus, oyster shell, fresh herb and wildflower flavours supported by subtle, juicy acidity that helps drive a lengthy, mouth-watering finish. A stylish example of an up-and-coming grape variety."
93/100 Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review, August 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"Delicate perfume, subtle and restrained; mineral, chalky and floral. White fruit and spearmint, tight and focused. The palate is linear, powdery dry and mineral, finishing with light-weight white peach, kernel and herb flavours. Softly salty, subtle and persistent. A quieter expression of albariño that is elegant, understated but with the balance to age in the near term."
