Crisp, aromatic, and terroir-driven.
Newton Johnson’s Albarino is a standout South African expression of this refreshing Iberian white, grown in the cool maritime Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley — a region celebrated for elegant, bright wines. It’s fermented in a mix of concrete eggs, stainless steel and old oak, a technique that preserves fresh fruit purity while adding subtle texture and complexity.
🍇 Tasting Profile:
Aroma: Lifted citrus and stone fruit — think lime zest, nectarine, and apricot — with floral top notes like jasmine or apple blossom.
Palate: Crisp and refreshing with bright acidity, light tropical fruit character and minerality, balanced by a fleshy, textured mid-palate and clean, zesty finish.
Style: Medium-dry with elegant fruit intensity and coastal freshness — making it both food-friendly and refreshing on its own.
🍽 Pair With:
Seafood (especially calamari, oysters, prawns), sushi, light salads, and grilled fish — the wine’s crisp acidity and citrus lift complement briny and delicate flavours beautifully.
