This fruit was sourced from a selection of vineyards from Marlborough's stunning Southern Valleys. Each vineyard's yield was managed carefully and fruit was monitored throughout the ripening season. just a few hours of cold soaking. Selected yeast strains were used for the primary alcoholic fermentation. Once fermentation was completed the wine was left on light lees for a short period, prior to careful blending and bottling.

The grapes were harvested in the cool of the morning at optimum flavour maturity. The juice was extracted at the optimum colour and flavour after.
