Vineyard
Fruit is chosen from these two renowned Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc regions to create a delicious, expressive wine. Fruit from the Wairau Valley brings bright tropical fruit underlined by acidity. Awatere Valley fruit provides richness and depth with notes of herb and a dry finish.
Vinification
Winemaking aimed to emphasise the vineyards and amplify our wonderful fruit. Following a gentle pressing, we started with carefully selected yeasts added to the juice to start fermentation. These yeasts were chosen to help build texture, weight and aromatics. Parcels of fruit were batch fermented with fermentation stopped when the perfect balance of natural sweetness and classic Marlborough acidity was achieved.
