"Charming and fragrant, the bouquet shows pineapple, lychee, rose petal and ginger spice aromas, leading to a fruit-expressive palate offering succulent flavours with supple texture and a lengthy juicy finish. A lovely expression of the variety, offering immediate appeal. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jun 2024

Pale gold colour in the glass. Delicate notes of citrus, spice and rose petal. A complex wine with layers of lychee, citrus and spice, leading to a generous mid-palate and a long finish. Drinking well now, this wine will continue to reward for the next three to five years from vintage date.

Grapes were sourced from two vineyards in Marlborough’s Wairau Valley. The vines are low cropping and immaculately tended to produce fruit with intense varietal characters. The grapes were harvested in the cool of the night at the peak of flavour development.

The grape must was left to soak on the skins for an extended period to assist with extraction of flavours. Post pressing, settled clear juice was fermented with yeast selected to enhance the varietal expression.
