Wine

Winemaking: Handpicked fruit is whole bunch pressed and cold settled before fermentation. A portion of this wine is fermented using indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged for 2-3 months in stainless steel tanks then bottled without fining.
Colour: Pale Straw.
Aroma: A vibrant, perfumed Sauvignon Blanc characterised by freshly squeezed citrus and dried herbs. Wet flint and gravel notes compliment the primary fruit and illustrate the contribution of indigenous yeast.
Palate: The wines juicy palate and fresh acidity upfront is followed by a soft, round texture. This weight and texture reflects our philosophies of employing low yielding, mature vines growing on the silty-clay loam soils of Marlborough’s Southern Valleys.
Cellaring: Drinks beautifully now or can be cellared for three to five years.
