93/100 | David Walker Bell, Wine Folio
Swift Wines are a boutique winemaking operation, with a focus on making quality, minimal intervention wines with maximum varietal expression.
We were absolutely blown away when we tasted this albariño. It's fresh, vibrant and brimming with fresh fruit flavours and floral notes. There's that hint of saltiness on the finish that makes for a totally enjoyable and complex wine. Bring this along to your next soirée and watch everyone scramble for the last glass.

David Walker Bell, Wine Folio writes "A pale lemon-green in the glass. Scented with white peach, lemon peel, fennel, pepper and elderflower on the nose. That crisp, saline acidity that is key in Albariño sits at the front of the palate here. Crushed shell minerality and a flutter of phenolics add interest to the bright fruit. The palate has a swaddle of texture, turning quite weighty and full as you go. The finish is both juicy and silken, with excellent length.An Albariño from the Mangatahi Terraces area of Hawke’s Bay.
