Esk Valley Artisanal Collection Hawke's Bay Albarino (2021)

Drinking well in its youth, the 2021 vintage (4.5*) is a single-vineyard wine, grown at Mangatahi, and fermented in tanks and large oak barrels. Bright, light lemon/green, it is freshly scented, mouthfilling and crisp, with strong, lively, peachy, spicy flavours and a finely balanced, dry (4.1 grams/litre of residual sugar) finish.
