Albariño Brothers - "Red Fish" Gisborne Albarino 2024
Albariño is often referred to by New Zealand winemakers as the ‘Riesling of the North’.
This Gisborne iteration is a bright and aromatic example and surprises with an unexpected depth. Zesty citrus, white peach, and honeysuckle aromas lead to a crisp palate and a delightful saline finish. It presents as an off-dry white wine and yet is refreshing and vibrant with an underlying savoury flintiness.

The Albariño Brothers - are not at all related…. but they are “brothers in wine” as their passion for Albariño brought them together.
