Superb Hawke's Bay Albarino from Steve Smith MW - the man who drove the winemaking programme for Craggy Range for many years. Now producing wine under his own banner with American tech billionaire Brian Sheth, you won't be disappointed with this premium example.

The winery writes "Beautiful bright golden straw colour. Heady aromas of waxy lemons, grilled stonefruit, lavender honey and wood spice. Bright energetic and then salivating on the palate, pulpy ripe lemon juice alongside a core of rich yellow fleshed nectarine and a savoury black olive, clove and dried meadow note. A dramatic and seriously delicious Albariño!"
Cameron Douglas MS writes "Precise, fruity, varietal and inviting bouquet of peaches and lemon. As the wine begins to open out in glass the scents of mineral and a plush dry wine with flavours of sea air begin to emerge. On the palate a taut and youthful mouthfeel with flavours of white and yellow stone fruits, citrus peel and saline framed acid line. As the wine continues to open out the idea of mineral begins to expand with a dry crushed stone quality. Fine tannin and plenty of acidity, a lovely example freshness and style."
