Fruit for this wine was selected from premium vineyards in the Marlborough and Waipara Valley regions of the South Island.
Our Marlborough vineyards are situated on moderately fertile glacial soils. This includes a mix of sandy loam over very deep gravels; fertile loams and clays. In Waipara, gravelly loams over alluvial subsoil offer minerality and structure.
Conditions across the South Island were good during the 2022 growing season. It was largely cloudy and humid, though spells of rain contributed to disease pressure. Conditions improved during the ripening stage and when fruit was picked in late March it was healthy, juicy and packed with flavour.
Once harvested, the grapes were gently pressed and settled in tank. The warm fermentation started with a handful of selected yeast strains. To add complexity and texture; a portion of the wine was fermented in old French oak barriques. After the completion of fermentation the wine was left to relax on light yeast lees toenhance structure and mouth feel. The wine was blended and lightly fined in June, then bottled in early July.
Food Pairing: Sweet Thai chilli chicken noodles.
