What’s better than a beautifully grown & made Albariño… one with 5-years cellar age is the answer. Due to slow premium wine & restaurant sales and a burgeoning winery cellar… TOHU have come to us with this stunning Winery Cellar CLEARANCE of 5-year aged prestige Single Vineyard Albariño at a spectacular $19.99! Ultimate drinking now and through the next two summers. Albariño is the new kid on the block with Kiwi white wine lovers; wine lovers are converting in droves to this generously flavoured, refreshing & elegant Spanish white grape that clearly thrives in NZ environs. This stunning Tohu Whenua Matua Single Vineyard Albariño was grown on the ancient Moutere alluvium clay soils in Nelson’s Upper Moutere region. From the gorgeous 2020 vintage it is captivating. A rich, full-bodied expression, the Nelson sunshine has ripened it to perfection. Dry to taste with a distinct European lemon & orange citrus thread to the white peach inspired palate, subtly layered with beeswax & honeycomb like a fine Riesling. It couldn’t be more perfect drinking now.

Gentle citrus and blossom notes, with honeycomb and white peach.

Dry and crisp, the palate fattens out with stone fruits and fine citrus. It’s carried with the saline freshness famous to the Albariño grape, to a salivating finish. Nuanced, complex and luscious, this is a beautiful Albariño experience. If you’re yet to have one… this is your moment! Perfectly aged and perfect with fresh seafoods. Superb drinking now through 2026. For optimal drinking pleasure the recommended serving temperature is 10-13 degrees.
