95/100 "Gentle pear/peach perfume. Slippery texture and lime/lemon flavours with some herbal notes. Enjoyable, pure and distinguished."
95/100 "Really delicious. Fresh pineapple, rock melon, lemon. Some blossom. Mouthwatering acidity. Very slightly salty. Dry and savoury."
91/100 "Attractive aromas of fresh herbs including parsley, a touch of spice and a little honey emerging. Big and assertive on the palate. A pristine but slightly coarse dry white."
96/100 "Lifted bouquet of white peach, melon, blossom. Fresh, crisp and textured, appealingly weighted mouthfeel and zesty saline acidity to the close. Well balanced, finishing crisp and bright."
Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"Our Seaview Vineyard in the Awatere Valley is one of New Zealand’s most coastal vineyards. Breath-taking vistas of rolling hills and wild coastline define our wines. The strong offshore winds encourage the grapes to grow small with thickened skins and wonderfully concentrated characteristics. Yealands Estate Single Vineyard wines are the truest expression of our coastal location, showcasing our unique environment and diversity of flavours across this singularly incredible vineyard.
The nose is vibrant and attractive with apricot and floral notes such as peach blossom, balanced with subtle citrus notes. The palate is crisp and refreshing, with subtle citrus notes.
The Albarino from our Seaview Vineyard was harvested and field destemmed, once at the winery, it remained in the press for 18 hours, before being gently pressed. The juice was then left to settle for 72 hours, before the clear juice was racked and fermented utilising yeast, designed to heighten the varietal characters. Fermentation took place in both stainless steel and old oak barrels, to help enhance mouthfeel, as well as capturing the delicate Albarino characters. Once fermentation was complete, the wine remained on lees, with regular stirring for 4 months. The wine was then blended, stabilised and filtered prior to bottling."
Rated Outstanding & 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS, October 2024 (2024 Vintage)
"Excellent aromatics with scents of peaches and citrus, a fine lees complexity and flowers. Fleshy, juicy and delicious on the palate with flavours of exotic fruits, yellow peach and grapefruit, the acid line carries a saline quality and the lees add mouthfeel and intensity. Delicious, lengthy and new, there’s a light pineapple hit just on the finish, VG. Best from 2024 through 2028+."
5 Stars & 94/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, September 2024 (2024 Vintage)
"It's finely scented and inviting on the nose, showing lemon zest, green pear, fresh fig and white floral aromas. The palate displays excellent focus and linear mouthfeel, splendidly supported by racy acidity, finishing taut and mouth-watering. At its best: now to 2028."
4 Stars NZ & International Albariño Cuisine Tasting, February 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Aromas of tropical mangoes and guava meet green nectarines and peaches on the nose and through the palate. The palate is ripe, fruit and salty and altogether joyfully summery thanks to the bright acid and crisp finish."
93/100 International Wine Challenge 2025 (2024 vintage)
"Bustly with flavour. generous and lively, lemon lime, herbal and tangy. saline freshness. Rosemary and turrón notes to finish."
