Albariño is a classic Galician white grape variety from north western Spain, where New Zealand winemaker Beth Forrest first encountered it and was smitten immediately. This led to Albarino being brought into New Zealand by Riversun Nurseries in Gisborne and, eventually, to growing in Marlborough where Beth and her famous winemaking father, John, Forrest, both love it and produce this fabulous dry white wine.

It has fabulous aromatic intensity and textural complexity.

This wine shows all the classical Albariño elements with a New Zealand touch of vibrant acidity, white peach, pear, apricots and quince, with an orange zest undertone.
