One of the wines we found interesting and delicious was a variety we had never tried before. The 2014 Single Vineyard Nelson Albarino is super crisp and fresh but very balanced. We thought it would be a great match for seafood. The lemon and lime notes match nicely and the creaminess of the prawns and scallops is great with the underlying ripe fruit flavours
