Stoney River Gisborne Albarino

Gisborne’s classic maritime climate - warm, sun-drenched days tempered by cooling Pacific breezes - delivers Albariño with a vibrant New Zealand twist. The region’s fertile clay-loam and silt soils encourage even ripening and concentrated flavour bringing lots of ripe stone fruit and citrus flavours, white peach and saline-tinged aromatics, that reflect both fruit purity and place, whilst retaining the grape's characteristic acidity. This wine opens with aromas of ripe peach, citrus blossom and a hint of sea breeze. The palate is juicy and refreshing, layered with stone fruit, citrus blossom and zesty lime, balanced by crisp acidity and a subtle saline finish. Bright, expressive and the perfect pairing with so many seafood dishes.
