- Fresh finish
Red apple and spiced cloves dominate the nose. Full bodied with flavours of dried pears and melon. Concentration of fruit shows through with a supple underlying structure that leaves the wine fresh and vibrant on the finish.
Grape are grown in 2 vineyard blocks: Waihopai Valley “C Block” - alluvial stony silt loams, very well drained; Omaka Valley – “Outpost Block”. Variable depth windblown clay/loess over clay-bound glacial gravel. Direct North facing aspect, on moderately steep hillside slopes.
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.
Harvested over 2 separate picks, the fruit was gently pressed with the free run juice settling briefly before under going fermentation in tank for C Block and barrel for Outpost Block. The separate batches were assembled 8 months after harvest. After final blending the wine was left to rest in tank before preparation for bottling.
