Winery | The Maori word Omaka means 'place of the stream'. The grapes are sourced from a single vineyard in the Delta region within the Southern Valleys subregion, where the vines are grown in clay soils. This naturally low-cropping vineyard produces tight bunches with small berries, intensifying the wine's flavour and concentration. Some of the grapes come from the Burgundian clone 115. The fruit was harvested when it had reached full physiological ripeness and maximum flavour maturity. |
