Theory & Practice wines are made by winemaker Ant Mackenzie working in partnership with selected Hawke’s Bay growers. This range of wines showcase the best qualities of the Hawke’s Bay wine region.

All fruit was machine harvested and pressed to tank. After 48 hours of settling the clear juice was transferred to two tanks for a cool fermentation. When the ideal palate balance
was achieved the fermentation was stopped to retain a small amount of residual sugar. After three months of aging on lees, the tanks were blended and the wine bottled.

Food Pairing: Enjoy this wine in casual settings and with summer salads.
