Aronui, Single Vineyard Albariño, Moutere Hills, 2016

Aronui is a Maori wine brand whose mythological name means 'the pursuit of knowledge in arts and the land'. This is only the second vintage of this Albariño from the young Whenua Matua vineyard in Upper Moutere. It shows good varietal character on the nose and palate with a saline, citrussy edge and juicy, creamy exotic fruit. Firm, balancing acidity keeps it nice and fresh.
