This wine is from grapes grown in our Kuranui vineyard in Marlborough.

The grapes for this wine were harvested in our Marlborough vineyard and transported to a contract facility for dejuicing and settling. The clear juice was transported by road tanker to our Katikati winery where it was fermented in a stainless-steel tank at around 14°C using Elixir yeast strain. Following fermentation, the wine was blended, protein stabilized, cold stabilized and fined. The finished wine was bottled in July 2022.

We have taken the boutique winery approach to winemaking by controlling the entire process-from grafting our own cuttings, developing our own vineyards and viticultural techniques and investing in the best technology possible.
