New vintage of this bargain white!

Yet another reasonably scary price for a pretty smart wine.  We can go into the reasons why but in this case, let's just enjoy it and toast innovation and reward.

"2024 was an excellent growing season in Gisborne with warm dry conditions and naturally moderate yields in the vineyards combining to produce delicious, flavour packed Albariño grapes. The grapes were picked and gently pressed to stainless steel tanks, then the clear juice was racked and fermented with yeast to highlight the unique aromatics and texture of Albariño. The wine was aged on yeast lees for several months to add complexity and richness to the palate." Winery

Albariño wine (“alba-reen-yo”) is a refreshing coastal white from the Iberian Peninsula, loved for its rich stone fruit flavors, hint of salinity, and zippy acidity. Wine Folly 

 "Ripe and fruity, varietal with a peach and yellow apple bouquet, some citrus, flowers and white spice. Delicious on the palate with a satin texture, persistent fruity, peachy flavours, a backbone of acidity with a fine lees quality. Best drinking from 2025 through 2027." 90/100 Cameron Douglas MS, September 2025 (2024 Vintage)
