"Green peaches and white florals sit alongside delicate herbal aromatics on this punchy and impactful nose. The palate is well balanced and beautifully textured with a tonne of mouthwatering and juicy fruit flavours that linger through to the finish." Cuisine Magazine Feb 2025

Without a doubt the best NZ Albarino on the market today! Expressive aromatics of ripe lime and peach are a prelude to an intensely fresh and juicy palate with a sweet, salted core of citrus fruits providing a mouthwatering finish.

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.

The perfect partner for seafood, or try with a Mediterranean salad.
