Description

  • Dry style 
  • Passionfruit
  • Blackcurrant
  • Citrus finish

Enticing aromas of Passionfruit and orange blossom with an overlay of citrus. Vibrant flavours of grapefruit and blackcurrant with a sprinkling of pineapple on the finish. The mid-palate is rich and textured with a mouthwatering acidity. Intense fruit flavours will be evident for the first 2-3 years then the wine will develop more complex characters with palate richness as the wine ages.

Another year of near perfect weather conditions. A warm spring allowed the vines to escape frost, while an above average rainfall lead to early flowering. Low rainfall throughout the summer and cooler temperatures were a perfect balance for the vines to mature free of disease and with optimum flavour maturity levels.

Waihopai Valley - alluvial stony silt loams, very well drained.
Mid Wairau Valley – varying depth of alluvial silt loam over gravel, well drained.
Lower Wairau Valley – deep alluvial silt deposits over gravel.

Harvested in the cool of the morning at peak flavour maturity. Gentle juice extraction, cold settled and fermented in stainless steel tanks and a portion in older oak with a range of aromatic yeasts providing a layer of texture and complexity

Food Pairing: Enjoy with grilled garlic & chilli prawns, creamy pan fried scallops or a zesty ceviche
