Hawkes Bay Albarino, Swift Wines
Description
This new take on Hawke’s Bay Albariño is vibrant, modern and fresh. Think yellow nectarines, white spice, orange blossom, lifted florals & fresh linen on the nose while the palate is textural & full-bodied… with a hint of saltiness and a lick of oyster shell.Â
Â
Like all Swift vinos, this Albariño is mindfully made using low intervention winemaking practises for maximum expression of place. The grapes were harvested in April 2023, kept on skins for 24 hours to reduce acidity and increase intensity of flavour, then barrel fermented by natural yeast.

Producer Details
Crowned the inaugural ‘NZ’s Young Winemaker of the Year’ at just 25, Lauren Swift has spent the majority of her life obsessing over grapes in their various forms. In 2016 Lauren persuaded husband Henry to join her wine team, and together they officially popped the cork on Swift Wines.
Lauren and Henry didn't have all the answers, but they did have a dream and the determination to make it happen. They’re big believers in working hard and playing harder. And that juggling the beautiful chaos of family/business life is much more fun with a wine glass in hand.
