Wine Details
Villa Maria Black Birch vineyard sunrise

Albariño 2021 6x75cl

Gisborne
  • 75cl bottle

Gorgeous little citrus flowers link arms with melon and peach to dance in the sunshine, always maintaining an air of class. Meanwhile, lime lingers in the shadows vying for attention.

Vineyards

This aromatic white wine grape, hailing from Spain and Northern Portugal, also performs exceedingly well in Gisborne.

Vintage

A warm dry summer resulted in perfect ripeness and the earliest harvest ever for our Albarino.

Winemaking

The fruit was picked and gently pressed to stainless steel tanks. 85% of the clear juice was racked and fermented with yeast selected to highlight the lovely aromatics and texture of this exciting variety. The remaining 15% of the juice was run to seasoned French Oak Puncheons for a natural fermentation which adds complexity and richness to the wine.
