Mount Riley Albariño 2026

$16.99

New wine, new vintage & a new taste.

"Our 2026 Albariño is made from grapes grown on Mount Riley’s St Andrew Vineyard south of Blenheim township. Delicate aromas of crunchy apple, apricot, lemon peel, and jasmine notes. Medium bodied with a brisk, firm freshness in the mouth. Dry with ripe fruit flavours firm acidity, and a salty saline finish.

Drinking well now, this wine will continue to improve and develop until 2029. Perfect to drink young, fresh and chilled. Known as Spains ‘seafood wine’, Albariño is perfect with shellfish and seafood, salads and pasta. Best pairings include oysters, crab, prawns, mussels, white fish, fish cakes, seafood pasta and risotto, sushi and sashimi, chicken, and creamy cheeses." Winery

"Pristine and brightly expressed, the bouquet shows green rockmelon, Gala apple, pear, and floral nuances. It's juicy and finely flowing in the mouth with excellent vibrancy, leading to a lengthy, refreshing finish. At its best: now to 2029." 5 Stars & 94/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, June 2026 (2026 Vintage)
