Vineyard

Many are saying that the 2019 harvest is looking like Marlborough’s very finest. Warm and dry conditions prevailed throughout the growing season producing beautiful ripeness and near perfect sugar-acid balance

Vinification

The fruit was harvested and immediately transferred to the winery where it was chilled and pressed. A long and cool fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks. 25% of the blend was aged on lees for six weeks and continuously stirred with built in agitators to build texture and palate weight. The wine was lightly filtered before bottling.
