Description
Pale straw colour in the glass with a slight green hue. Displaying aromas of passionfruit, Golden Delicious apple, blossom, and crushed herb on the nose. The palate is layered with white peach, passionfruit, tangerine and lemongrass with a salty richness and lingering finish. Drinking beautifully now and best enjoyed over the next two years.
Rows are planted north-east to south-west at a 43 degree angle rather than the typical north to south. This leads to slightly greener characters in grapes on the south facing side and more tropical characters in grapes on the north facing side. The resulting wine is therefore multi-dimensional and complex. The site is cooler than some other areas of the valley and hence slower to ripen. The distinguishing flavours are crushed herbs (often associated with the coastal Awatere region) and an absence of sweaty characteristics.
The fruit was pressed off as quickly as possible to minimise skin contact and juice deterioration following harvesting. After settling the juice was fermented using selected yeast in 100 per cent stainless steel at cool temperatures to retain fruit flavour and freshness. This batch was selected as a Pioneer Block wine due to its unique flavour, intensity and complexity.
Food Pairing: A perfect companion for seafood, this wine also complements fresh vegetable dishes.
