Albarino’s ability to show you the mosaic of fruit is remarkable. Here it starts in Morocco, in a souk of rose water, mandarin and squashed pink fig hearts. White peach and pineapple citrus on the palate with some tantalasing tweak of fruit sweetness, strawberries even and cantaloupe. Its naturally high acidity has been guided well with no shrill moment but gently rolling in waves. This is a wine that draws you in and keeps your attention for long moments. Broke Fordwich shines here with these wines, it’s suited to its climate and is making waves across Australia! Get creative with this wine. It really has the structure to suit an array of cuisine, for example slices of duck with kumquat, grilled peaches with blue cheese on sourdough. It can do anything.
