Albarino is a lively Spanish white wine from Galicia in north west Spain; the region also known as green Spain because it has a higher than typical rainfall for that country. This may be why Albarino has adapted so well to New Zealands maritime climate and this bright and tasty wine comes from a small, sheltered vineyard in the Upper Moutere hills of Nelson, where cool nights preserve the acidity that drives every succulent sip.

“Albarino is lively, like the Spanish people; lemony, punchy, aromatic and layered…” says winemaker Trudy Shield.

And what’s not to love about all that.
