Top Seller: 2023 Albariño

Crisp, voluptuous and balanced — our 2023 Albariño is the wine for summer.

Description:

This fun new take on Hawke’s Bay Albariño is vibrant, modern and fresh. Think yellow nectarines, white spice, orange blossom, lifted florals & fresh linen on the nose while the palate is textural & full-bodied… with a hint of saltiness and a lick of oyster shell. 

Like all Swift vinos, this Albariño is mindfully made using low intervention winemaking practises for maximum expression of place. The grapes were harvested in April 2023, kept on skins for 24 hours to reduce acidity and increase intensity of flavour, then barrel fermented by natural yeast.

The result is an incredibly versatile (and very, very drinkable) wine. One that’s simply begging to be devoured at your next summer soirée.
