The 2026 Marlborough vintage delivered exceptional fruit quality following a warm, dry growing
season and an early harvest. Healthy canopies, low disease pressure, and favourable ripening
conditions produced grapes with concentrated flavours, vibrant acidity, and excellent varietal
character.

Our 2026 Albariño is made from grapes grown on Mount Riley’s St Andrew Vineyard south of
Blenheim township. A long cool ripening before being harvested on the 1st of April allowed
maximum flavour development on the vine.
