"Delightfully fruited and elegantly expressed, the wine shows nectarine, lemon peel, nougat, flint and roasted cashew aromas on the nose, followed by a finely textured palate that's succulent and rounded. Beautifully composed and attractively styled. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jun 2023
Stone fruit, honeysuckle and citrus on the nose, with a hint of toasty oak. The palate is richly textured and full of stone fruit, honey, brioche and a spicy oak complexity.
Two Gates vines are planted on classic Hawke’s Bay river terraces, chosen for their cool nights and low rainfall. Grapes grown here will continue to exhibit finesse, balance and com-plexity as the vines age and our organic approach builds the uniqueness of our handcrafted wines.
A mix of hand and machine picking then pressed straight to barrel. Barrel fermented with indigenous yeast and aged on lees for 6 months. In this time full malo-lactic fermentation was also completed. Bottled without fining in October 2022.
