Middle-Earth Albariño  Nelson 2016

Another wine style I haven’t tasted in a long while. I recall loving this variety.

A bunch of us were in Nelson riding the inaugural Abel Tasman Cycle Challenge – a 158km loop from Nelson up to Marahau in Golden bay and back. A flat gorgeous course.

In the afternoon L and I relaxed in the garden of the Free House, a craft beer and wine bar housed in an old ex-Dutch Reformed Church.

This wine was really lovely. Zesty citrus and passionfruit.

Highly Recommended – 91 points
