Cuisine's Top 5. Twice Over.
Cuisine Magazine just confirmed what you lot already knew—Albariño Brothers is making waves.
About the Albariño Brothers
Our Red Fish just earned 5 stars. Our Blue Label landed 4.5 stars. Both wines secured spots in Cuisine's Top 5—a double honour that's bloody rare.
This is Gisborne Albariño done right. Twice.
Small fish, big flavour. Small winery, massive impact. These aren't just awards—they're proof that when you obsess over every detail, people notice. Even the critics.
Why We're Obsessed
We're a young Gisborne winery with a serious obsession: making the best Albariño in New Zealand. Turns out, the critics agree.
Two wines. Cuisine's Top 5. Both of them. That's not luck—that's what happens when you're borderline obsessive about quality, terroir, and getting every detail right.
We're small, we're scrappy, and we're making waves with a grape variety most Kiwis are only just discovering. Small fish, massive flavour. That's the Albariño Brothers way.
