Wairau River Marlborough Albarino 2015 $25 ★★★★½
Who’d have thought we’d be growing this snappy Spanish white way down in Marlborough AND doing a great job of it? Well, the Rose family at Wairau River are doing just that. Beautiful aromas of citrus blossom, white peach and summer flowers tease the nose before an onslaught of bracingly fresh, flinty, mineral-driven flavours hit the palate. It’s got excellent length and character on the finish. Lovely stuff. www.wairauriverwines.com
