Match With

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.

Wine Details

A decade of albarino.

The release of this 2024 vintage marks 10 years of making this totally morish, mouthwatering wine.

Summer in the bottle, toes in the water.

A vibrant bouquet of lime and the seaside on a hot day. Equally reflected on the palate and bound with crystalline acidity resulting in a beautifully savoury example of Albariño.

As a dirty martini drinker, this wine brings me great joy.
Ya get me?

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.

Download Tasting Notes

"A shiny star variety in the bright sunshine and cool nights of Nelson, this has the whole gambit of fruits: orange zest, peach and pineapple with a green apple curl and white strawberry fleck. Acidity steadily climbs, bringing the wealth of flavours along for the ride. It's sandy in its fruit flesh texture and yet still slinks along the palate with a satisfying freshness and vitality. This is impossible not to love – detailed, generous and would suit almost anything on the dining table. A hint of radish and white pepper on the finish, too. 95 Points."
