Vineyard
Fruit for this wine was grown in the Awatere and Wairau Valley's where typical warm days and cool nights provide classic flavours, intensity and definition.
Vinification
The fruit was gently pressed and the juice cool-fermented to retain as much flavour and aroma as possible. Lees ageing of some components prior to bottling has developed mid-palate weight adding to the wine’s intense fruit characters.
