Vineyard
Waihopai River Vineyard, Waihopai Valley, Marlborough The specific sites chosen for our Pride & Glory Sauvignon Blanc are the stoniest sub-blocks on the lower-most terrace; an ancient riverbed made up of super stony, free draining silts with the barest minimum of topsoil.
Vinification
Hand-harvested from select rows within our Waihopai River Vineyard then gently whole bunch pressed with minimal maceration, the resulting juices were fermented in a selection of new and older large-format French oak. Post fermentation, the wines were aged on fine lees for a further 10 months to help develop richness and complexity before being blended and bottled in March 2016.
