Why we love this wine

• Grapes & Terroir

  The Albariño grape variety hails from the cool climate of Galacia, a region situated on the Atlantic coast in Spain's northwest. Noted wine critic, Robert Parker, called Albariño, "one of Spain's great wine gifts to the world." A new variety to North Canterbury, which seems to be settling in very nicely. The Chapman family believes that with their hands-on viticulture, organic practices and ancient minerally soils they make something pretty special with this varietal.
• Winemaking

  The grapes are meticulously picked and then fermented in aged oak barrels for added texture and complexity.
• Tasting

  Albariño is characterised by its classic peach and citrus tones, zesty acidity, hint of minerality and floral bouquet. The nose is expressive with ripe apricot, rockmelon, mandarin and subtle spice aromas. The palate is concentrated and succulent. It also has good mid-palate weight and rich, silky texture.
