{"product_id":"2025-margan-breaking-ground-albarino","title":"2025 Margan Breaking Ground Albarino","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Breaking Ground Albarino is Ollie Margan’s pet project and a brilliant example of how well this Spanish variety thrives in the Hunter. The vines went into the family’s Ceres Hill vineyard in 2014 on a sandy river flat, and they’ve been farmed organically for the past few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOllie leans right into the grape’s natural brightness, creating a texturally interesting, modern drop that doesn't cost the earth. The 2025 vintage turned out clean fruit with a stack of natural, zesty punch. Ollie fermented the juice using wild yeasts in old French oak puncheons and ceramic eggs, letting it sit on the skins for a short spell. This clever approach coaxes out a beautiful, waxy texture and subtle grip without losing any of the grape's signature line of freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose is incredibly aromatic, bursting with white peach, orange blossom, and a distinct briny, sea-spray character. On the palate, it is lively and layered, matching its juicy citrus and stone fruit flavours with a lovely, slippery mouthfeel and a crisp, salty finish. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fantastic, boundary-pushing white that delivers drinkability, interest and value in equal measures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"This is the best albarino I have tried in Australia, year on year.
