Description

  • Dry style
  • French oak
  • Nashi pear & honey
  • Fresh acidity

This wine has lifted aromatics of lovely tinned pear, fresh nashi, a nice honey note and some fresh, floral characters. The palate has a rich texture with soft phenolics giving some roundness and a dry finish while the intense flavours echo the aromatics. A touch of fresh acidity ensures the wine is well-balanced.

A blend of their Waihopai Valley vineyard (70%) and the adjacent Barnsley Block. 2/15 clone, cane-pruned, shoot-thinned followed by successive fruit thinning to reduce crop level and ensure uniformity of ripeness. Soil is windblown loess over a clay pan. The clay soils play an important part by contributing volume and mouthfeel to the wine.

Picked at 23 brix, the grapes were perfectly ripe with plenty of flavour. Just under 30% was hand-picked and fermented with wild yeasts in old French barrels and the rest was machine-harvested and fermented in stainless steel tanks.

Food Pairing: Spicy foods, especially Thai flavours and coconut-based curries, also pates and terrines, salmon, chicken and pork dishes.
