New vintage!!

We tried this recently with its maker and were taken for the intrinsic quality this wine represents.  A contrast to many NZ dry whites in many ways. It's dry exterior leads into layers and layers of interest and reward.  Well done Esk on producing it but the only worry is they have not produced enough!

"This wine reveals classic Albarino notes of lime, peach and an assortment of tropical fruits. It is full and rich with mouthwatering acidity providing length and delicousness with the palate weight enhanced by ageing on yeast lees. It is delicious as a young wine but will gain some complexity with time in the bottle. It is the perfect accompaniment to seafood dishes.

This is a single vineyard wine from the Two Terraces Vineyard situated inland at Mangatahi. The Albarino plantings are located on the upper of the two gravel river terraces formed by the Ngaruroro River. Two clones of Albarino from both Spain and Portugal are planted, with each providing its own distinctive characteristics" Winery
