Coopers Creek Albarino is sourced from Doug Bell's vineyard in Gisborne, and has been utterly convincing since its very first vintage in 2011. The most recent vintage, tasted pre-bottling, is everything you'd want from a Rias Baixas Albarino: full bodied, round and complete. It's whole-bunch pressed and fermented using only the free-run juice. Pure and delicate, it has sweet, succulent peach fruit and an almost almond-like scent, making for an alluring package.
