Description
The Forrest Estate Albariño 2024 is a stunning expression of New Zealand’s Southern Valleys, showcasing the perfect balance between traditional Albariño characteristics and the region’s unique fruit profile. Vibrant acidity drives the wine’s freshness, complementing luscious flavors of white peach, winter cole pear, apricots, and quince. A subtle undertone of orange zest adds a layer of complexity, while the wine’s full, textured body remains perfectly balanced with a crisp, mineral finish.
This wine is a true standout, having earned gold medals at the New Zealand International Wine Show, The National Wine Awards, and the Marlborough Wine Show in 2024. Its combination of ripe fruit, refreshing acidity, and drying minerality makes it the perfect partner for seafood, light poultry, or fresh summer salads. Whether enjoyed now or in the next few years, this Albariño is an exceptional example of New Zealand’s growing reputation for high-quality white wines.
