Villa Maria Reserve Albariño wine is a true gem from New Zealand. With its bright straw hue mixed with a touch of green, it looks as delightful as it tastes. The bouquet is an inviting mix of citrus, stone fruit, and floral notes with underlying minerality. A sip unveils a medley of zesty lime and ripe peach on the palate, complemented by a touch of honey. The crisp acidity is beautifully balanced with the fruit sweetness, delivering a well-rounded, medium-bodied wine. A lengthy, delightful finish makes this Albariño a perfect partner for seafood or a stunning standalone treat.

Tasting Notes

The 2021 Reserve Albarino displays intensely pure and expressive characters of ripe peach and citrus lime entwined with a subtle saline mineral complexity. The palate starts rich and concentrated before flowing to a long and sleek finish, where notes of lime brightly echo long after.
