144 Islands Albariño 2023

The 144 Islands Albariño 2023 is grown in the far north of New Zealand, where the volcanic soils and coastal breezes of the Bay of Islands offer ideal conditions for this Spanish-born variety. Fermented in a blend of stainless steel and large neutral oak, the wine captures purity, texture and an unmistakable maritime influence. It’s a vivid, site-driven white that reflects both landscape and craft.
