How good is this! From the funky labels to the salivating contents within each bottle, this perfectly pitched passion project is a study in how to capture the imagination of the wine buying public. Conceived by three mates connected through wine - Ollie Powrie, Shaye Bird and Ant Saunders - this is a delicious expression of zesty Gisborne Albarino that is absolutely begging to be part of your alfresco gatherings this summer.
Industry commentators have been predicting that albarino is going to be the next big thing in New Zealand wine in recent years - and with wines of this calibre hitting the market, it's easy to understand their enthusiasm. Bright, zingy, and with a classic subtle saline note on the mid-palate, this vibrant wine needs an immediate introduction to a dozen fresh oysters - or match with tangy salads and a lime spiked fish crudo.
Tasting note
David Walker Bell, Wine Folio: "A pale green straw colour in the glass. Vibrant aromas of Granny Smith apple, lime leaf, grapefruit, white peach and jasmine florals promise much. The palate is also very energetic, with a racy, saline acidity leading the charge. The crispness continues into the salivating finish."
