Deep Woods Single Vineyard Albarino 2024

Albarino has never taken off here as once it might have appeared it would do, and good ones are rarer than honest politicians. From the Margaret River, this is surely one of the best released for some time. It spent three months on its lees before bottling. Straw gold in colour, this is wonderfully aromatic with peaches, apricot skins, figs, sea breezes, florals and stone fruits. A touch of ginger and glacéd lemon, as well. This is ripe, full of flavour and with such a seductive texture. Excellent length here, completing a superb white. Drive over the next four years. Love it.
