2016 Heart of Gold Albariño

There's a buzz happening around our 2016 Gisborne Albariño. One sip, and you'll understand why. This wine is lush with honeyed pear and passion fruit, zesty citrus and floral zing, yet still round and silken in the mouth. The aroma is a fruit salad of scents including peaches, nectarines, passion fruit. 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.  Read the review here.
