The Advocate Albarino is grown across two carefully managed vineyard blocks in the Bridge Pa Triangle sub-region of Hawke’s Bay. Warm temperatures and free-draining silt over red metal gravels provide perfect growing conditions.
2024 provided fruit with a great balance of sugar and acidity and a delightfully aromatic fruit intensity. Gently pressed, only the purest of free-run juices was taken, clarified and fermented at cool temperatures with a yeast strain selected to complement the fruit's tropical and citrus fruit profile. Careful ageing on fermentation lees has built mid-palate texture and complemented the natural acidity of this variety.
