There’s a lot going on here — from oyster shell and tinned pineapple to stonefruit, peach skin, green melon, and almond. A delightful lick of salinity runs through the palate, adding freshness to the texture and drive. It’s lively and textural, with bright acidity and the pure sensation of biting into perfectly ripe fruit that somehow tastes even better than the real thing. The best Australian Albariño we’ve come across yet — easily a match for its cousins from north-west Galicia.

Vineyards are mostly in the Mount View sub-region of the Hunter Valley, and all at 130 -180m above sea level, so a little cooler than is typical for the Hunter. The extreme heat of the Hunter is avoided and wines of elegance and fruit clarity can be produced. They have additional high quality vineyards in Hilltops, Orange and Wrattonbully.
Low yields, generally between 1 and 2.5 tonnes per acre. A series of exceptional single vineyard sites, including Dairy Hill, Briar Hill and Red Hill. Vines at up to 45 years of age.
Quality winemakers: Gwyn Olsen (now winemaker for Henschke was senior winemaker until 2022) and Andrew Duff, a former Len Evans Scholar, is the current winemaker.
Drink with Hand Crafted by Geoff Hardy Tempranillo.
Some Docs are telling us that turmeric has medicinal qualities. Just another reason to brew up a curry. Great for a dinner party, but avoid frozen fish to get the best of this dish.
