Albariño Brothers Wild Ferment Hawke's Bay Albariño 2025

Description

Dry, Floral, Nectarine

"Gorgeously styled and expressed, the complex bouquet showcases golden peach, rockmelon, orange peel, oatmeal, and biscotti characters, followed by a concentrated palate offering a plush mouthfeel and splendidly integrated acidity. It’s mouth-filling and enticing with a sustained, satisfying finish. At its best: now to 2031" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"Bright, even, pale yellow gold. The nose is gently full, with aromas of ripe nectarine, stonefruit, wildflowers, citrus and creamy autolysis. Medium-full bodied, aromas of peach, nectarine and pomelo, intertwined with wildflower, oyster shell and cardamom. The wine is textural, with a lush, creamy mouthfeel, mingled with oyster shell and spice notes. Softened acidity broadens the palate and grants a rich, spiced finish. An Albariño for grown-ups, complex and engaging with a textural mouthfeel" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews

Enticing aromas of perfectly ripe white peach, nectarine and citrus flowers. A lovely finely textured palate with incredible purity and crisp dry finish.
