Wine: Nautilus 2023 Albarino, Marlborough $30

Why I chose it:

- Exciting new (to New Zealand) grape variety with a great future in this part of the world

- 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

- More likely to find it at fine wine stores rather than on supermarket shelves

Food match?

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

Will it keep?

- Drink it up
