"Bright, even, light straw-yellow colour, a little lighter on the rim.  This has a very fresh, aromatic nose showing bright white florals and white stonefruits, entwined with lime fruit, showing very good depth and concentration, unveiling some minerally elements.  Dry to taste and full-bodied, the palate has rich, deep and concentrated flavours of white stonefruits and florals, with citrus fruits and nuances of nuts and minerals.  The palate has fine, firm phenolic textures to balance the fruit depth, and refreshing, lacy acidity.  This has power and linearity, carrying the wine to a long, lingering, concentrated finish of stonefruits and citrus fruits, with floral lift.  This is a full-bodied dry Albarino with richness, weight and fine, firm textures and fresh acidity.  Match with seafood and poultry, or with Asian and Middle Eastern fare over the next 3 years.  Hand-picked fruit from the ‘Craft Farm’ vineyard, WBP and fermentation initialised in tank then transferred to tinaja (clay jars) and barrels, fermenting to 14.5% alc. and 2.0 g/L RS. TA 7.0 g/L and pH 3.4." Raymond Chan, Oct 2017

"A fabulous expression of the variety, the attractively fruited bouquet shows white stone fruit, rockmelon, lemon peel and floral characters with a hint of pepper spice. The palate is juicy and concentrated, and delivers vibrant mouthfeel backed by bright acidity, leading to a persistent crisp finish. At its best: now to 2019" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2017

Aromatic notes of melon, citrus and a mineral twist. The palate is full bodied with a crisp acid structure and a long rich finish. Enjoy chilled.

Toño (Ton Yo) is the familiar or nickname of Antonio in the Spanish language. Toño wines are a modern take on Spanish winemaking heritage, grown in the sunny Hawke’s Bay. Wines that are fun, delicious and reflect the Hawke’s Bay lifestyle.

The grapes were hand-picked and whole bunch pressed to tank. After settling the juice was fermented with an aromatic yeast to enhance varietal character. Once fermentation was underway the juice was transferred to tinaja and barrels for fermentation and maturation.

Food Pairing: Great paired with any seafood
