Wine Press Ratings
90 Points - Decanter (2023 Vintage)
"This is just the second vintage of winemaker Natalie Christensen's AlbariƱo, sourced from the Seaview Vineyard in Awatere Valley, where strong off-shore winds help to produce small, concentrated grapes. Salty grapefruit and lime aromas lead to a concentrated palate driven by brisk acidity. Partial oak fermentation adds texture to layers of lime pickle, preserved lemon and grapefruit zest, ending in a satisfying lick of salinity."
About the Producer

While known for its sustainability leadership, the estateās premium focus lies in a growing range of single-vineyard wines, where carefully selected sites deliver greater depth, texture and a clear sense of place.
