Red Hut - Hexton Village Albarino 750ml
"Fruit was hand-picked and fully destemmed before being chilled and lightly pressed to retain texture and delicacy. The juice was settled to near clarity, with a small amount of fine sediment retained. Cool fermentation was carried out in stainless steel before maturation on yeast lees for three months to naturally enhance texture and stability prior to bottling.
On the nose, lifted aromas of white peach, Meyer lemon and sea spray are complemented by subtle floral undertones. The palate is bright and refreshing, with juicy stone fruit and citrus flavours, a fine line of acidity and a delicate saline edge. Lees ageing has added a subtle creamy texture and mid-palate weight, without compromising the wine’s crisp, mineral finish.
Hexton Village
Hexton Village is a small but increasingly celebrated sub-region within Gisborne on New Zealand’s North Island, known for its gently sloping vineyards and proximity to the Pacific Ocean. The area benefits from warm days, cool nights, and a long growing season, ideal conditions for retaining acidity and building flavour complexity in white varieties. Well-drained alluvial soils further contribute to the vibrancy and precision of the wines." - Red Hut
