Stanton & Killeen Alvarinho 2025 from Rutherglen is a lively, modern white that swaps the region’s usual fortified heft for brightness and crunch, bringing citrus, stone fruit and a gentle saline twist that feels perfect for warm Adelaide afternoons. This Stanton & Killeen Alvarinho 2025 is all about refreshment.

In the glass you are looking at lemon and lime zest, juicy white peach and green apple, with hints of orange blossom, fresh herbs and a subtle sea‑spray note. The palate is light to medium‑bodied, zippy and bone‑dry, with crisp acidity, a touch of pithy grip and a clean, mouth‑watering finish that keeps you going back for more.

This Alvarinho from Stanton & Killeen is a beaut match for prawns, salt‑and‑pepper squid, grilled fish tacos, ceviche or sushi, and it also works a treat with summer salads, soft goat’s cheese and a big bowl of chips at a laid‑back weeknight dinner.
