The Little Wine Co Albarino 2024


Fresh release of Albarino from Broke Fordwich (Hunter Valley) based The Little Wine Co. Fresh as it's both 2024 vintage, but also personified in its aromatic representation. Its all manner of peach nectar, summer florals, speaking to Summer days spent outside, around the table.

A lick of texture across the palate, against a grace of acidity - both lending itself to a range of foodstuffs. Seafood Paella an acceptable nod to Albarino's homeland Spain.

Personally I'd happily quaff this post-dip in the pool, the condensation rolling down the bottle as the water rolls down your face. That spine of acidity and lingering spice on the finish bringing refreshment, both. 92

Huntington Estate Dry Rosé 2024

A drop positively brimming with sunshine and energy, of strawberry, raspberry and rose.

It is what it says on the bottle, dry - a mineral tinged edge to the wine and a spine of dazzling acidic energy. Dried herb presents itself and that edge of austerity yields to a broader, almost creamy aspect to the wine. Lovely Rosé - a welcome addition to any table. 93
