The Real Thing Albariño 2023

The Real Thing Albariño 2023

Albariño has its origins in Galicia, Spain and also Minho region in Portugal (where it is known as Alvarinho).

The first vines brought in to Australia actually proved to be Savagnin after CSIRO testing, so it was a long 10 years wait for us - but it was well worth the wait! We are excited to release our sixth vintage of our Adelaide Hills Albariño.

The wine is unique and intriguing with aromas of citrusy lime and stone fruit that lead to a similar palate with mineral complexities and a dry finish. The perfect match to seafood, salmon, sushi etc.  Estate Grown, Vegan and single vineyard.

Ratings
After a false start when the CSIRO misclassified Savagnin as Albariño, Artwine produced their aptly titled ‘The Real Thing’. With Iberian origins, this exotic varietal is vinous escapism and unlike The Kardashians or Fifty Shades of Grey will not be held in contempt. Purity unlike the latter, there are top notes of white grapefruit, and kaffir lime. A string of sour passionfruit and nectarine is swept up en masse by a reverie of pebbled, European beaches. Piles of acidity, fruit weight and phenolic grip help form a palate of depth yet delicacy. Like a prism the palate refracts a spectrum of flavours – when chilled this is all citrus, crunch and saline minerality. As it reaches ambient temperature; ripe stonefruit, green pear, and sweet fennel emerge. And albeit not 50 shades, there are certainly enough to keep things interesting.
