Gold Medal & 95/100 – Decanter World Wine Awards 2026
Winery notes (2025 Vintage)
"A lively Nelson Albariño from our Upper Moutere vineyard. Bright citrus, white florals and juicy stone fruit lead into a fresh, mineral palate with vibrant acidity. Clean, focused and easy to enjoy, with a long finish that makes it a natural match for food."
DWWA Judges' Comments (2025 Vintage)
"A frisson of kaffir lime, orange oil and honeyed herbals patrols the nose, while saline mineral characters frame the palate. Gorgeous grapefruit sherbet charges the length."
5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, March 2026 (2025 Vintage)
"Pristine and finely expressed, the bouquet shows green rockmelon, ripe pear, lemongrass, and white-flower notes, leading to a brilliantly focused palate delivering a linear mouthfeel and juicy-fruit intensity. Beautifully poised and vibrant with a lengthy, mouthwatering finish. At its best: now to 2029."
Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, March 2026 (2025 Vintage)
"Varietal, fruity, saline and fresh. Aromas and flavours of white peaches and tropical fruits with a pineapple then fresh rose apple quality, framed by a citrus peel and sea spray quality. Mineral, dry, salivating and delicious, a wine perfect as an aperitif or with fresh salty seafood and oysters. Youthful still and needs some settling in time with best drinking from late 2026 through 2031+."
