There's a buzz happening around Gisborne Albariño. One sip of this and you'll understand why. 2015 Heart of Gold Albariño is lush with honeyed pear and tropical fruit, zesty citrus and floral zing, yet still round and silken in the mouth. This famed vinho verde cries out for mussels, rabbit stew or charcoal-grilled calamari, perhaps a whole snapper, slashed, stuffed and grilled over vine cuttings. That sort of summery thing.
Ready to drink now, but will develop over the next two to three years.
