This wine ticks all the salinity boxes we are looking for in this varietal. Bring on the seafood.
The nose offers refreshing summer herbs with hints of watermelon and cucumber. From the start the wine has great mouthfeel. It’s generous but kept in check with a backbone of acidity. The palate has moments of lime blossom, cardamom spice, garden mint and finishes with a sea breeze cleanliness. There is an attractive funk in this vintage yet the wine remains elegant.
Albariño – a grape native to Northern Spain- Rias Baxias on the Atlantic Coast - home to some of the world’s best seafood – goose barnacles, prawns, clams and crab. Nelson is Australasia’s largest fishing port and we decided to plant a trial block several years ago. Once it was considered a wine to be drunk young but the modern take on Albariño allows you to cellar it comfortably.
To say this would be a match for Kai Moana is an understatement – drink with freshly shucked oysters, garlic steamed mussels or a slice of pan seared tuna.
"Stylish albariño with typical citrus, mandarin and subtle stone fruit and apricot flavours. Nice weight and texture with tangy, fruity acidity driving a lengthy finish. Delicious now but promises to continue giving pleasure for a few more years. 93 Points."
