Neudorf Rosie's Block Moutere Albariño 2024

A shiny star variety in the bright sunshine and cool nights of Nelson, this has the whole gambit of fruits: orange zest, peach and pineapple with a green apple curl and white strawberry fleck. Acidity steadily climbs, bringing the wealth of flavours along for the ride. It's sandy in its fruit flesh texture and yet still slinks along the palate with a satisfying freshness and vitality. This is impossible not to love – detailed, generous and would suit almost anything on the dining table. A hint of radish and white pepper on the finish, too. Points: 95/100

This is delicious! Waxy and refreshing white wine, just shy of medium weight but plenty of character and personality. Candied mixed peel, Bickford’s Lime Cordial, ginger, green almond, cucumber, tonic water. So lively and fresh, but yet a depth to texture. This is one to shout from the rooftops about interest and drinkability, and yet somewhat an unassuming wine. It sits in upper tiers for character and delight for me. Points: 94/100
