"Showing terrific fruit purity and power, the wine shows passionfruit, kiwifruit, kaffir lime and subtle musky characters. The palate offers excellent concentration and youthful fruit intensity backed by refreshing acidity, finishing persistent and satisfying. At its best: now to 2021" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2019

The Fault Line Reserve is light bodied and fresh with well-balanced acidity and refreshing tropical notes. Flavours of passionfruit and gooseberry with a slightly salty note are complimented by lifted notes of freshly cut capsicum. The finish is lingering and richly textured.

Fruit for this wine was sourced from several vineyards within Marlborough, predominantly in the lower Wairau sub-region. The fruit was carefully monitored during ripening and after harvest the juice was pressed off immediately to minimise skin contact and juice deterioration. Fermentation took place in 100 per cent stainless steel at cool temperatures to retain aromatics and fresh fruit flavour.

Food Pairing: Enjoy it on its own or perfectly matched with fresh seafood.
