The 2016 vintage provided an opportunity to source our Pinot Gris from nearby Gisborne. Gisborne sits at the eastern tip of New Zealand’s North Island and is best known as the rst place on Earth to greet the morning sun. Its long sunny days are cooled by the Paci c Ocean’s afternoon coastal breeze, ideal for grape growing. Conditions like this are perfect for developing bright acidity and lush tropical fruit avours. Gisborne’s soils o er a mix of fine clay and silty loam that act as an excellent natural drainage system. We are focused on preserving both varietal character and regional accuracy in all of our wines. Our wine-making regime has evolved to emphasize the inherent freshness, balance and structure of our fruit. After harvest, the white grapes are gently pressed, fermented and aged in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks to ensure freshness, bright aromatics, lush textures and balance. For Pinot Noir we use a combination of traditional and modern methods to emphasize both avour and elegance. Our Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are aged exclusively in French oak.
