We know our customers love aromatic varieties, so we’re excited to introduce you to a brilliant new single-vineyard Albariño from Gisborne. This vibrant Spanish white, which has taken the world by storm, is now thriving in New Zealand’s coastal vineyards. Bursting with citrus zest, saline freshness, and a hint of stone fruit, it’s the perfect seafood partner and a must-have for spring and summer drinking.

This is the inaugural release from Red Hut – a new collection of small-parcel, contemporary wines showcasing the excellence and diversity of New Zealand winemaking. Crafted under the direction of Wine Direct Hero Cory Ryan, the grapes for this Albariño come from Hexton Village, a rising-star sub-region of Gisborne. Here, warm days, cool nights, and a long growing season help retain acidity and build flavour complexity, while well-drained alluvial soils deliver vibrancy and precision.
