The grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness, pressed, and settled. Fermentation occurred in stainless tanks with carefully selected yeast to enhance the varietal characters. The wine was left on the yeast lees, which imparted texture and complexity to the resulting wine.

| Winery | The grapes for this wine are grown in Saint Clair's vineyard in the Gimblett Gravels region of Hawkes Bay. The 10-year-old vines are planted on the stoniest part of the vineyard. These stony soils are vigour-moderating free-draining soils, ideal for growing Viognier. The vines are trained using the VSP Guyot system, and as a result, there is reasonably high exposure reflected in the ripeness of the wine. The grapes are harvested in the cool of the night, preserving the varietal characteristics. |
