With texture and complexity, fruit for this wine is grown using organic practices on the Arapoto block, high above the Awatere River. Richly textured, complex, uniquely Awatere. Awatere Valley, Marlborough, New Zealand. Arapoto (Short Path) Block. Planted 2002. 5.06ha. Stafford moderately deep silt loam soil.
Sustainably grown grapes using organic practices. Wild and wet spring that resulted in poor flowering and lower bunch numbers and smaller berries. Dry and warm conditions in the Summer following resulted in pristine fruit with bold, concentrated fruit flavours. Ideal ripening conditions led to an early harvest with grapes for this wine.
Harvested using a modern machine harvester in the early morning when the grapes were cool. The majority of grapes are pressed into stainless steel tanks, with a small portion pressed directly to older French oak barrels for fermentation with wild yeast. After fermentation the wine is carefully blended, creating a wine with outstanding texture and length.
