Astrolabe Vineyards Sleepers Vineyard Albarino 2013 $25 ★★★½Astrolabe Vineyards Sleepers Vineyard Albarino 2013

Albarino has made itself well and truly at home here in the Antipodes, far from its Spanish home.  Simon Waghorn has crafted a white wine that’s lifted, dry and has a whiff of oyster shell, lime and flint.  It’s a lightly structured style that’s bony, tangy and taut – lovers of dry whites prepare to be amazed! www.astrolabewines.co.nz
