Halcyon Days Kōtare 2020

Blend: Sauvignon Blanc (20% skins, 80% whole bunch fermented) + whole bunch Gewurztraminer + whole bunch pressed Pinot Noir Sauvignon Blanc: a grape with great acidity, line, and vibrant fruit. We loved the texture and structure the whole bunch element gave the wine in ’19 so have upped the whole bunch for 2020. Fermented on skins and stems with a bit of Gewurztraminer, subjected to regular light hand-plunging, pressed, then aged on lees for six months. The warmer year has produced more generosity of fruit in the palate compared to the more linear ’19.
