- Aromas of passionfruit and fragrant ripe grapefruit are complemented by flinty notes. The succulent and flavorsome palate is imbued with passion fruit, grapefruit, and gooseberry with a subtle herbal thread and salty mineral notes leading to a long and zesty finish.
The fruit was carefully monitored throughout maturity and was harvested upon reaching optimum flavour development and ripeness. The grapes were immediately transported to the winery and pressed with minimal skin contact; the resulting juice was cool fermented in stainless steel to retain freshness, aromatics and varietal flavours.

Winery | The fruit for this wine was selected from vineyards across Marlborough sub-regions, predominantly the lower Wairau Valley subregion. In this region, the synergy of climate and soil come together to produce wines with extraordinary purity of fruit. Situated in the northeastern corner of New Zealand's South Island, the vineyards are surrounded by the Pacific Ocean to the east and hinterland mountain ranges to the north and south. The vines are pruned using three or four-cane vertical shoot positioning (VSP). Each vineyard yield is managed appropriately and is dependent upon the ability to ripen grapes to the desired flavor spectrum. |
