SV Albarino 'Bell-Ringer' 2019

This wine is so named because it tastes and smells as pure as the peal of a bell, and it was grown by Doug and Delwyn Bell in their vineyard just outside of Gisborne. This tank fermented wine was handpicked and whole bunch pressed to give us juice of great character and flavour. Our inputs were minimal and were all designed to preserve as much purity as we were able to do. We have only used the ‘free run’ juice from each pressing to craft this wine. Colour: At bottling the wine was very pale with light yellow/green tints. With time we expect that it will develop some pale gold hints. Bouquet: Pure and fresh, with hints of citrus zest and peach. Palate: Medium bodied and zesty. This wine has a brilliant acid line and this gives the palate real length and vigour
