Viticulture
Perfectly ripe Albariño was hand harvest from this iconic vineyard site on the 22nd March. Planted from the very first Albariño cuttings from Spain to make it to Hawke’s Bay. A very free draining site with a mix of deep gravel and silt loam.
Winemaking
Wonderfully complex wine with mandarin and stone fruit aromas combined with a nutty character. A lovely balanced and round mouthfeel with the hallmark Albariño line of fresh acidity and long concentrated finish.
Tasting Note
Enticing aromas of perfectly ripe white peach, nectarine and citrus flowers. A lovely finely textured palate with incredible purity and crisp dry finish.
