Vineyard
This is a single vineyard wine produced from a single pick from our Waihopai block in Marlborough’s Southern Valleys. The 2019 vintage was great for Riesling and allowed is to pick at the perfect time.
Vinification
Once picked in the cool of the early morning, the grapes are gently pressed with only the free-run juice being fermented to make this wine. The juice is inoculated and fermented at low temperature (10-12C) to retain the wine natural bright fruit aromatics.
