- Nautilus makes my favourite Albarino 

- Great summer wine – crisp, refreshing with mouth-watering acidity 

What does it taste like? 

- A delicious albarino with classic citrus/mandarin/orange flavours. A kiss of sweetness is perfectly balanced by fruity, mouthwatering acidity that leaves a refreshing finish. Memorable wine that makes perfect summer drinking. 

Why it’s a bargain: 

- High quality wine at a reasonable price 

Where can you buy it? 

- Wine Freedom, Otago $24.99; Whiskeyonline, Auckland $25.99; Society Liquor, Wellington $25.99

Food match? 

- Most seafood, my favourite is scampi seared on the BBQ 

Will it keep? 

- Drink it up
