Organic Marlborough Albariño
Tasting Notes
Orange blossom, red apple and mineral elements. Inviting.
Distinct bursts of lime, lemon, mandarin and orange lead the lively and intense palate and persist throughout.. Also apple, slate and stone fruits noted. Rich and zesty with layers of texture and a persistent finish.

Winemaker Notes
Albariño harvested by machine from our organic Headwaters vineyard was crushed and left in contact with skins for 12 hours. (This process enhances varietal character and structure on the wine). After clarification the juice was fermented with a combination of commercial and indigenous yeast species and then left in tank and barrel on lees for 4 months.
Food Pairing
Fish and seafood of all kinds. Spicy dishes also can work well.
