Winery | The fruit is sourced from several specifically chosen low-cropping vineyards in the Southern Valleys region of the Wairau Plain. The vines are grown in very clay-rich, vigor-moderating soils. Each vineyard is closely monitored and tasted to determine when the flavours are optimum, and the fruit is harvested in the cool morning. |
