WINE REVIEW
This is a wine that year on year always delivers, from one of the country’s leading 0rganic growers, Albury Organic Estate. The 2023 vintage has just been released, and is a blend of 58% Pinot Noir, 31% Pinot Meunier and 10% Chardonnay.
Consistently appealing in hue, the Albury is already immediately open in the glass, with its nose of strawberry, raspberry and cherry, and I also picked up on some hints of watermelon and citrus.
The palate is red berry focussed, beginning with raspberry and cherry, while the mid-taste maintains that slightly fleshier melon ripeness. The wine ends with cranberry and lemon. This is another crisp and delicious release that is perfect for enjoying in the summer sun.
